Stephanie Bennett Quotes

Life is tough, my darling, but so are you

If you come across one of the rare souls who sees the war in your eyes and does not flinch, hold them close, hold them forever.

You will always be the unsettled question ripping through my heart; the unfinished love that will forever remain behind the door that I can never close.

For what it's worth, I saw you break, stayed for the fall, watched you heal and rise and conquer, and I need to let you know I have never seen anything more beautiful than the brave evolution of you.

People say, "they have no idea how bad they hurt me." Yes, they do, love. They know exactly how bad they hurt you. That's why they disappeared. It's hard to look at someone when you know you destroyed them. So, don't ever think someone doesn't know. But learn to be better than that.

If I could go back, I would take all the wrong turns on purpose. I would be reckless with chances and greedy with wishes. I would believe in a lot more, but trust less. If I could go back, I would find my fears earlier to kick their asses sooner. I would realize that eye contact never killed anyone and words hurt, but silence is what breaks hearts. I would go back to tell myself that I have the sky in my eyes, the universe in my heart and dynamite built into my own bare feet. I would tell that beautiful girl to never let anyone crack her steel spine, never give anyone the power to slip disregard under her nail beds and don't ever allow someone to leave a trail of regret beneath her skin, and try to call it a promise. I would remind her.... Beautiful Girl, never lose sight of who writes your story.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning. —Louis L'Amour

I live by the truth that “No” is a complete sentence. —Anne Lamott

How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward. —Spanish proverb

Kad ir kur pasisukčiau, susiduriu su žmonėmis, pasiilgusiais paprastumo, bet nežinančiais, nuo ko pradėti; be galo norinčiais pusiausvyros ir rūpintis savimi, bet nė nenutuokiančiais, kaip tai daryti. Trūksta laiko viską aprėpti, ką jau kalbėti apie daiktų ir minčių, verčiančių mus jaustis tokius išsekusius, sutvarkymą!

Veikiausiai nė vienas nepultų ginčytis, kad dauguma mūsų darome per daug ar turime daugiau daiktų, nei mums reikia. Arba ir viena, ir kita. Kai gyvenimą pasiglemžia prisirišimų, nuogąstavimų, begalinių, mechaniškai atliekamų darbų sūkurys, protas nebesusigaudo, kas turi likti, o ko reikėtų atsikratyti, kas svarbu, o kas nereikšminga. Mūsų žmogiškajai prigimčiai svarbu nuolat jausti aiškumą ir erdvę. Tačiau bėda ta, kad mes nesugebame susitelkti, prarandame pusiausvyrą ir pamirštame, kaip tai padaryti.

As the Buddha says, “What you are is what you have been; what you will be is what you do now.” What

No one can bring you happiness until you're content with who you are.

Don’t ever feel stupid for loving someone who turned out to be everything they promised they would never be. But be proud that you still believe in the goodness of people, because that is rare. Don’t let it harden you. Learn the lesson, but keep that soft heart.

I saw a shooting star tonight and I wished for myself. I wished for the part of me that I lost so long ago. I wished to be whole again.

I am horrible at letting go, until I do... and then I let go hard enough to crumble everything around me, including myself.

I have never been good at pretending, but somewhere there's an award engraved with my name, for playing alive, despite the times I watched myself die.

You almost saved me until you saw how steep my ledge was so you gave up, convinced I was not worth the fall; now you will never know.

I hope this is the year you learn to love yourself so much, you forget about all the years you didn't.

I loved you more than anything, including myself, and therein lies the lesson.

A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success. —Bo Bennett

My home became my temple, my clutter was my teacher, and my journey of self-discovery began with clearing out a single drawer.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! —Rumi

◊Būkite smalsūs. Gyvenkite domėdamiesi ir smalsaudami. Apsimeskite, kad nieko nežinote. Norėkite būti maloniai nustebinti. ◊Nevenkite tylos. Tyla atveria erdves ir galimybes jausti. Nebijokite to. ◊Nesibodėkite paslaptingumo. Niekaip nepavyks nuspėti, kas nutiks. Priimkite

Pulling the plug was no small achievement for someone so tightly wired to a daily routine, a professional identity, and financial security. All I could do for the first few months after quitting was grieve for the old parts of myself that I was deliberately dismantling—unaware that my little sore throat was like a pebble that had started an avalanche of clearing and transformation that continues to this day.
