2018 and Quotes That Provide Food for Thought

  By Damita J                                                                         

 2018 marked some wins and some losses.  I did not get everything I wanted, but it's okay.  I cherish the good, cope with the bad, and make plans.  
Some of the people I've worked with have told me they felt many emotions this year such as: anxiety, defeat, happiness, anger, frustration, and fear (fear of failure, success, of the unknown).  There is no cookie cutter solution for emotional ills, but there is one universal truth.  The truth is that whatever life brings, you have to keep moving forward with your goals and or plans. 
Quotes, especially those from some people who we admire, give us insight into their pasts and our own future endeavors.
Here are websites to check out with some inspiring quotes.

One quote that speaks to me is: “You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don’t give up.” ― Chuck Yeager

A quote that I cherish is: "If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The triumphs, the worries, the battles, the up and down experiences from 2018 are coming to an end.  Soon, they will be in the rear view window.  

You cannot go back and redo the past, but you can try and learn from past emotional triggers which may have ruled over you.  

Did you survive the stress and learn new coping skills? You probably did better than you care to admit to yourself because you participated and engaged in life!  Resiliency is about finding appropriate coping skills and moving forward! Keep it moving, and happy New Year!
