Life’s not always easy—things don’t always go to plan. Sometimes—we’re thrown a few curve balls. And it’s during our most challenging times that we have the opportunity to reflect and grow.
Below are fifteen quotes to inspire you on the path to finding peace through self-reflection.
Quote 1: Pay attention to your patterns. The way you learned to survive may not be the way you want to continue to live. Heal and shift. – Thelma Bryant-Davis

Quote 4: Most of our anxiety, confusion, and frustration occurs because we’re focused on what might happen in the future instead of what is happening right now. – Inspired by @drnicoifrfurkens
Quote 5: Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now—we are okay.
