If you can’t seem to find the right words or direction, feel free to request personal coaching from Marta@joyofquotes.com Every failure to cope with a life situation must be laid, in the end, to a restriction of consciousness. Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance; regrets are illuminations come too late. Joseph Campbell Every human being must find his own way to cope with severe loss. The only job of a true friend is to facilitate whatever method he chooses. Caleb Carr The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. John Vance Cheney To me faith means not worrying. John Dewey Only through suffering can we find ourselves. Fyodor Dostoevsky It is a fact of life that we find ourselves in unpleasant demoralizing situations which we can neither escape nor control. We can keep our morale and spirits high by using both coping and hoping humor. Coping humor laughs at the hopelessness in our situation. It gives us the courage to hang in there, but it does not bring hope. The uniqueness of hoping humor lies in its acceptance of life with all its dichotomies, contradictions, and incongruities. It celebrates the hope in human life. From one comes courage, from the other comes inspiration. Cy Eberhart In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. Robert Frost One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference. Robert Fulghum Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility; for his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen, and the cup he brings, though it burn your lips has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. Kahlil Gibran Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in a human situation. Graham Greene We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones. Stephen King A man’s dying is more the survivor’s affair than his own. Thomas Mann Even a small thorn causes pain. Irish Proverb Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression. Dodie Smith Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
