Quotes (Miscellaneous)

Personal Work | 2018

 This project is a series of drawings that I made to serve as little notes to myself, based on random quotes and sayings; what I've come to understand of it and strive to practice living by. Have a look at them below!

If you get tired , learn to rest, not to quit ~ Banksy
Oftentimes when we're really getting somewhere, we get overcome by fears, doubts, insecurities and find ourselves unable to move on. In those times it's very important to take a moment or more if required, get some rest, gain a little perspective and get back to it another time. It's all part of the process, but remember to not quit.

There's a lot of uncertainty when it comes to new beginnings. So if you're just starting out, here's a gentle reminder to not be so hard on yourself. Be patient, it's alright if you make a mistake or two, that's how we learn and grow eventually.
Always Remember
Allow yourself to be a beginner, No one starts off being excellent ~ Wendy Flynn

Q08.png

Sometimes the thing that holds us back is the belief that our power lies outside of us. It's this idea that has developed as a response to past experiences of someone/something having stopped us. The more we hold onto it, without bringing awareness to shifts in the present, the more we act out in ways/ patterns and behaviours that reinforce it. So if you choose to make it a practice, starting this moment to not let anything outside of you define you, then that's you tapping into your power. 
So here's a gentle reminder
'You are your only limit ~ Anonymous '

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you. So you can be who you were meant to be in the first place ~ Paulo Coelho
It's only when we truly shed the labels that have been placed on us, those that we've grown to identify ourselves with, but are not serving us that we make space for that which we truly are to emerge. So go ahead and start shedding those labels, let your authentic self come forward.

Your speed doesn't matter, forward is forward ~ Unknown
We're so used to putting timelines on everything, and constantly comparing ourselves to others. When it comes to real progress, what matters is that you're moving forward, not who's doing it better or faster. 
Afterall, 'Slow and steady also wins the race '.

'Most times you have to be your own hero~ Anonymous'
We've been taught that there's someone out there that can fix us. But in a true sense, only we can do that for ourselves. No one can read your mind, no one knows and understands your problems better than you. While the other can help you gain an understanding and support you along the way, the real work is done by only you. What is right for one person may not always be so for another. So go ahead, take all the guidance and support you need,but remember you are your own hero!

We're so caught up in basing our worth and happiness in the things we own. Things are never permanent, we can never take them along with us. Moments on the otherhand, the times that we spend connecting, loving one another, they live on in our memories. They are the ones that help us get through difficult times very often. So Remember to
Collect moments, not Things~ Paulo Coelho
