Courage

“Sometimes the people around you won't understand your journey. They don't need to, it's not for them.”

“Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does.”

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

“You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

“Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step.”

“I have depression. But I prefer to say 'I battle' depression instead of 'I suffer' with it. Because depression hits, but I hit back. Battle on.”

“If you're going through hell, keep going.”

“You wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left you so tired the night before, and that, my love, is bravery.”

“You are not weak for struggling. You are strong for continuing.”

“The only way out is through.”

“Believe you can and you're halfway there.”

“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'”
