chasing circumstance Quotes

“Love yourself. Don’t worry about what others say, think, or feel about you. They didn’t create you, do not own you, and therefore hold no power over you. Do not allow your ego to replace your self-worth.”
― Dina Redmon, Chasing Circumstance

“we talk about building brick walls around them to protect them. You know what the best part of a brick wall is? The fact it can be torn down one brick at a time. So, tonight, dear readers, I leave you with this question… How tall is your brick wall?”
― Dina Redmon, Chasing Circumstance

“grant yourself permission to be led by the knowledge of a grown woman’s mind. When you find that you are walking down a familiar, darkened tunnel, do not force yourself toward the light, but instead, turn around and change the bulb.”
― Dina Redmon, Chasing Circumstance

“Isn’t it funny, in those moments of turmoil, how we feel as though we will never make it through them? How we wish the world would just open up, swallow us whole and end our misery? How we tell ourselves that we’ve never felt as deep a pain as we’re feeling at those moments? What’s even more entertaining is that once we stop to take a breath and clear our heads, we realize we were stronger than we thought all along. Maybe it’s in those moments that our strength hides in the shadows and allows us to feel weak, so that we’re more able to appreciate our personal moxie. Maybe it’s in those moments we learn lessons that help us forge ahead, cut our own paths, and realize we were doing it all along. So tonight, dear readers, I leave you with this question… Has there ever been a path we took, or a choice we’ve made that the Universe hasn’t helped us to solve in the end?”
