*Today I am participating in Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop by answering the prompt: 2.) “I need all the help I can get and if repeating something healthy and inspiring to myself several times a day helps, then I’m going to do it!” -What affirmation makes you feel better?
I’m a pretty positive person, but sometimes life stomps on my heart and zaps my spirit. I’ve been through my share (and then some) of drama and trauma that still messes with me. To bolster myself in those situations, I turn to prayer and these inspirational quotes as affirmations:
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? -Bible verse, Psalm 27:1. No need to be a punk; my Father has my back.
“It is not enough for you to do your very best. You must do what is required of the situation.” -Cathy Hughes. Man up, accept no excuses and do what needs to be done.
“If you are going through Hell, keep going.” -Winston Churchill. Keep on trucking, baby.
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta be willing to put up with the rain.” -Dolly Parton. Life sometimes suck; deal with it.
“Our deepest fear is not that we’re inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.” –Marianne Williamson. Forget the haters and naysayers; I am fabulous. I believe it and I will live it.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful quotes. The Winston Churchill one reminds me of that country song by Rodney Atkins with the same words. My favorite line is “you might get out before the devil even knows you’re there”

Just so you all know, I do read everyone’s blog post who comment on mine, but sometimes I can’t leave a comment if your blog comments don’t allow Name/URL. But I do read!
