Be brave and create the life of your dreams. Dare to strive for the spectacular.

You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.

Use fear to become braver, pain to become stronger, trials to become wiser, and misfortune to become better.

The brave with all of their weaknesses are better than the cowardly with all of their strengths.

Joy gives you strength.Hope gives you fortitude.Faith gives you courage.Love gives you power.

The mind shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s wisdom; the heart, in proportion to one’s courage; and the soul, in proportion to one’s love.

When you experience loss, people say you’ll move through the 5 stages of grief….Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance….. What they don’t tell you is that you’ll cycle through them all every day.

It’s funny how we say a person ‘made’ us when they actually broke us.Sort of like how I say ‘funny’... but I actually mean sad.

They say the truth hurts. And these words hurt more than any I have ever written. But they are the truth – The cold, hard, undeniable truth.Not letting go doesn’t keep him with you.It’s still over. He’s still gone.… And nothing will ever change that.

With you in my life I felt like I could conquer anything.It was as if I was on top of the world and even the stars themselves were just within my grasp.But without you …. even getting through the day is hard.

I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.

She wears it so beautifully doesn’t she, her pain… Always smiling, always positive…. always happy to help… It’s like a garment perfectly tailored to fit the way she carries it… with a touch of grace… and the quietness of that sad smile…. All so you’d never know how heavy it really was.

Self-pity is spiritual suicide. It is an indefensible self-mutilation of the soul.

Divorce fear. Court courage. Pursue hope. Marry love.

If your heart has been broken nine times, muster the courage to love again for the tenth.

If you are sad, love will make you happy; afraid, love will make you brave; weak, love will make you strong; and broken, love will make you whole.

Love makes you strong when others are weak, brave when others are scared, hopeful when others are despairing and cheerful when others are sad.

Lust makes you weak, passion makes you strong, love makes you brave, and heartache makes you wise.

Wisdom has a hundred eyes to see opportunities, courage has a hundred feet to seek opportunities, and strength has a hundred arms to seize opportunities.

If you think too much, you will worry too much; if you worry too much, you will fear too much; if you fear too much, you will dread too much; and if you dread too much, you will suffer too much.

Cowards shrink from challenges, weaklings flee from them, and warriors wink at them.

When the sails are strong a ship has no reason to fear turbulence.

The louder the dogs bark the less a lion feels threatened.

It can’t be done,” they told the caterpillar. “It can,” replied the butterfly.

Invest in your dreams, not in your fears.

First, fear will mock you, then fear will taunt you, then fear will oppose you, and if you ignore it, only then will it flee from you.

A bird must overcome its fear of heights before it can rule the skies.

A bird only conquers the sky when it has mastered enough courage to lose sight of the ground.

The sky’s dangers offer the eagle more opportunities than the nest’s comfort.

The strong overcome their opponents, the mighty crush them, the shrewd outwit them, the cowardly hide from them, but the enlightened transcend them.

If adventurers were cowardly, no one would have crossed the nations; if sailors were fearful, no one would have crossed the oceans; if pilots were gutless, no one would have crossed the skies.

Great moments are full of naked vulnerability, words merely reflect a primal or instinctual footprints that leaves trails of dust for those brave enough to follow

Brave cubs become fierce lions.

The greatest weight a bird has to drop before it can fly is fear.

Singing in a storm silences thunder’s threats.

An oak tree is just a small nut that persevered against the taunts of doubt and fear.

A bird in a nest is secure, but that is not why God gave it wings.

A lion will only retreat if you stare it in the eyes; likewise, so will fear.

Reach for the stars, not your fears.

A bird that fears turbulence will never know how high it can fly.

The higher you rise above your fears the higher you will rise above your peers.

Life begins at the edge of your fears.

The farther you venture into the forest the more valuable the fruit.

Fortune hides behind action.

You will never reach the stars without courage to lose sight of the ground.

A step towards what you fear is a mile towards mastering it.

The louder your “I can” the closer your “I've done it!

Believe in yourself, for the universe believes in you.

Behind your darkest fears lie your brightest rewards.

One who conquers fear cannot be conquered by anyone.

One who conquers fear conquers his greatest enemy.

Confident sheep overcome insecure wolves.

There is a very thin line of demarcation between bravery and foolhardiness.

Courage is an act of grace when it is not required; it originates from an inner necessity to honor, love, and cherish people, and respect oneself.

We derive courage from love. Bravery borne from love trumps the ingrained desire for self-preservation.

Grace represents the sublime glamour of human souls, the ability of physically courageous and emotionally brave people to give part of them in order to protect other people regardless of adverse consequence that they might personally endure.

Money is a great asset, talent is an extraordinary asset, and courage is an exceptional asset.

​Pass on bravery and wisdom to the future generations, not some ragged traditions and baseless cowardice.

Taking a step in the dark is braver than taking a leap in light.

Following your dreams is better than being led by your fears.

God will only push you off a cliff if He's going to give you wings to fly.

Fear ends where love begins.

Fear can only be mastered outside of your comfort zone.

If you want to breed something, breed bravehearts, not soulless racehorses.

Sometimes great things are best to unleash.

Allow people to walk all over your carpet, not all over you.

When you are walking on water it is fear, not sharks, that sinks you.

I know this is scary. You're hungry and cold and you want to give up! But you can't turn on each other! Not now! Show me how brave you can be by pulling together! Do it for each other! That's the trick! Because when you reach out--when you extend yourself for other people-- that's when you're without fear!

Courage treats the weak better than fear treats the strong.

Brave is doing the right thing, because it is the right thing to do.
