As you may remember from
previous posts, I have started working with a great little company called IttyBitty Book Company. They produce the cutest little books, filled with
inspirational quotes for any situation. In my work with them, I’ve decided that
every other week I will share a quote with you that I feel applies to my life
at that particular time. I love quotes and often turn to them when I need some
motivation and inspiration, so I hope that by doing this I can help to inspire
some of you too.
“Keep in mind admitting weakness is
actually a sign of strength”
This quote really stood out
to me this week because for the last few weeks I’ve been really trying to put
on a brave face but it’s got to the point where I just needed to admit that I
am really struggling. It’s easy to see it as a sign of weakness, admitting you
are feeling vulnerable and scared, but it actually takes a hell of a lot of
guts to open up to others and be honest about what’s going on for you. I’ve
been trying to convince myself that it’s OK to let others know I’m finding
things hard, and that, in the long run, it will actually help me to get
stronger with their help. There’s nothing wrong with accepting help from those
around you. We are social beings who need other people to survive, and there’s
nothing weak or bad about admitting you need a bit of help. So, instead of
struggling to put on that brave face all the time, why not try confiding in
someone you trust about what’s really going on. You might be pleasantly
surprised by how much it helps.
What quotes inspire you when things
are difficult?
