Wild Hope Quotes

“JOY CHOSE YOU Joy does not arrive with a fanfare on a red carpet strewn with the flowers of a perfect life joy sneaks in as you pour a cup of coffee watching the sun hit your favourite tree just right and you usher joy away because you are not ready for her your house is not as it should be for such a distinguished guest but joy, you see cares nothing for your messy home or your bank balance or your waistline joy is supposed to slither through the cracks of your imperfect life that’s how joy works you cannot truly invite her you can only be ready when she appears and hug her with meaning because in this very moment joy chose you.”

“DRIVE YOUR ANXIETY The thing about anxiety is that it feeds on itself. The more anxious you are, the more anxious you get. The fear of that heightening is so very real, it escalates the growth even further. Until you are completely and utterly overwhelmed. No longer in charge of your vehicle. The anxiety is driving now. And the only thing you can do, to stop the take-over, is to remove the food source. To sit down, breathe in, breathe out, again, AGAIN. Remind the body that you are the master. You belong in the driver’s seat. Remind your body that you have the power over your lungs, your life-givers. They move to your command. And anxiety is just an unwanted guest that you can relegate to the backseat once more, where it belongs. Drive your anxiety – do not let it drive you.”
