Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. I am happy to see that you decided to stop by to visit with me. You are always welcome around my table.
In previous articles I have mentioned that I am encouraged by quotes. Quotes poignantly remind me of my truth and encourage me to keep moving in the direction of my dreams and my heart’s desire.
In this article I will share several quotes. As you read through these quotes may you also be encouraged to keep moving in the direction of your dreams and your heart’s desire.

“ All things are difficult before they are easy.” John Norley
“What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed that we possessed.” Dale Carnegie
“A bird does not sign, because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.” Chinese Proverb
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” Anatole France

Hi Carol,
Carol I believe I understand what you are experiencing because I have been there too — for many years until I learned a valuable lesson through my recovery process. I am not an identity. I have written several articles that contain information that has helped me understand and find a new freedom. Please remember that you are not alone in your struggle. In my experience I had to grieve my loses to be able to begin to heal and accept myself. I have written a series that I would encourage you to read and think about. Here is the link to part 1 Carol.

Society has duped us into believing that we are what we do, rather than we are because we are. Please read the 7 part series and then get back to me. Thank you Carol.
You are not alone.
Craig
