Holding Space for the Sun Quotes

“You're too precious to wait around. You can go first. You can be bold enough to disclose your warmest thoughts and your most passionate expressions. They'll always guide you toward what you're worthy of. And they'll finally show you that your feelings, your needs and your emotional depths matter, and that your boldness will inspire others to change, too.”

“It is not the world that is scary. It is your perception of it. New opportunities are terrifying, yes. But they're also blessings. Uncertainty holds the chances for you to gain so much. For you to finally do something different and to grow in unprecedented ways.”

“The past repeats itself because you are still living there. Holding onto anger. Believing that somehow, if you allow the anger to burn you, then you will never experience hurt again. But that anger is only burning you. It is setting everything around you ablaze, and warning others of danger and peril. It is suffocating you. Blinding you from moving towards new paths and endeavors. You will repeat your suffering if you continually live your life with a closed heart and with the worst assumptions.”

“Don't allow your pain to obscure your vision or your greater sense of purpose. Because your pain is the precursor to greatness. The very impetus you need to change. God and life are not trying to smite you. They are holding your best interest, and steering you in directions that your sensitivity, your softness, and your gentleness may otherwise struggle to reach.”

“The lost. Not you. No, not with that loving heart of yours. Not with those kind eyes that see the greatness in others. With that resilient soul that refuses to quit, and that has the tenacity to love during the most trying times and the darkest days. Not with your pure character that holds firm to good values. That refuses to follow society's path of anger and hate. Not with your energy that invigorates every individual you encounter. They lost.

But you didn't. You're gaining an opportunity to take your heart, your inner light, and your vibrant soul to someone who will cherish it and recognize it for the divine blessing that it is . And that's why you can't surrender. That's why you can't give up.”

“I am honored to be able to experience love in its entirety, whereas others experience unsatisfactory fractions. I am honored to not only change myself with my heart, but to also change others, and to watch as the world transforms within love's fingertips. I am content with my heart breaking, because I know it will always rebuild into something greater. Something so powerful and luminous that I wouldn't have it any other way.”

“Yes, you overthink.

But it's because you care. You never want to look back and wish that you did more. You give your all, and you love in ways that others can only imagine.

And that's what makes your heart special.”
