The only thing on Earth you can count on is that there is nothing on Earth you can count on.

You’ve climbed too many mountains and crossed too many rivers to stop and turn back now.

Always count your blessings, even if you have to count them through your tears

Walk gently, and be brave.

There were moments when it hurt so bad you couldn’t breathe, yet somehow you survived the pain. There were days when you could barely put one foot in front of the other, yet somehow you arrived at your destination. There were nights when you cried yourself to sleep, yet somehow you held on until the morning. Your life is nothing less than a miracle.

Self care is any action you purposefully take to improve your physical, emotional or spiritual well being. Too often, we do not make time for sufficient self care because we’re too busy taking care of others. Life’s demands at home, in our community and at work can take our lives out of balance. Self care can be getting more rest, eating healthier food, spending more time in thoughtful reflection, being kinder to yourself, smiling more, playing, or engaging in any activity that renews you. By making time for self care, you prepare yourself to be your best so you can share your gifts with the world. You cannot serve from an empty vessel. © 2017 Eleanor Brownn eleanorbrownn.com

Don’t set your sights low, just because someone else has a limited view of life’s possibilities. One person's comfort zone may be another person's cage.

I believe in the possibility of positive change at every age and every stage of life. Your whole life is ahead of you.

The best way to reach your destination is to just keep going until you get there.

It can be hard to hold onto your vision because other people will want you to be like they are. But your life has a course of its own, and only you can walk it.

Start from your heart. The greatest journeys begin on the inside.

Negativity is positively bad for your health.

An old person knows what it’s like to be young, but a young person doesn’t know what it’s like to be old. There’s no substitute for life experience.

You'd better make friends with Time, because sooner or later it will catch up with you.

You don’t have to wait until you get to the top of a mountain, to enjoy the view.

I was on a path, and I became determined to give it everything I had — no matter what.

Some people won't love you, no matter what you do. Some people won't STOP loving you, no matter what you do. Go where the lov

Letting go may sound so simple, but rarely is it a one-time thing. Just keep letting go, until one day it's gone for good.
