We have all experienced some pain and sorrow in our lives, no matter what our background. Sometimes all of our efforts in life may seem useless when one problem after another continue to surmount themselves onto our lives. When these things happen, we need to have different methods of recovery available to us so that we can cope with life’s hardships. One thing that I have always found useful are healing quotes that motivate and inspire.
Healing quotes can remind us of what is most important to us in our lives. Since ancient times people have used different forms of poetry and writing to not only express their own feelings, but to uplift others’ feelings as well.
Healing Quotes – How can healing quotes help?
Healing quotes can motivate us to better our lives in a variety of different ways; such as inspiring us to start a new workout program and become dedicated to it. Struggles with depression, cancer, and death of a loved one can all be alleviated with healing quotes.
Of course, it’s important that we read and re-read these quotes to learn and remember their true meaning. On my site, I’m going to share with you and the rest of the world quotes from a vast variety of sources.
From Mother Teresa to Mahatma Gandhi. From William Shakespeare to Will Smith. Anything and everything that I have found or just heard that helps in my healing process, I will share with you. I hope that I can help you. I hope that you too will be motivated to spread this and any other help you can to those around you. We’re not alone here. We’re all in this together.
“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;” -John Donne
A more humorous saying about this particular idea of humanity’s connection would be that of Elia Kazan. Kazan was one of the greatest modern film and theater directors in the world and he came up with something called The Actor’s Vow. It’s like a sort of pledge of allegiance for actors.
Now I realize that we don’t all see ourselves as actors, but Shakespeare did say “All the world’s a stage.” The part of The Actor’s Vow that I want to mention is, “I am not a cosmic orphan.” We have to recite the vow for my class and you can imagine the snickers that came about when people first read that. Whatever your religious or non religious background may be, if you are here on this site, I would think that you are a believer in humanity learning to work together to better all of our lives. That’s what I want to help convey with these healing quotes.
