Brave Enough

in Self-improvement & Personal Growth on 28/01/16

Cheryl Strayed on Braveness

Brave Enough is a collection of quotes–drawn from the wide range of her writings–that capture her wisdom, courage, and outspoken humor, presented in a gift-sized package that’s as irresistible to give as it is to receive.

Stop asking yourself what you want, what you desire, what interests you.
Ask yourself instead: What has given to me? Ask: What do I have to give back?
Then give it.

Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be.

Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose.

Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go.

Acceptance is a small, quiet room.


Transformation doesn’t ask that you stop being you. It demands that you find a way back to the authenticity and strength that’s already inside of you.

You only have to bloom.


Romantic love is not a competitive sport.

You’re running your own race. We don’t dig or not dig people based on a comparison chart of body measurements and intellectual achievements and personality quirks. We dig them because we do.


We don’t reach the mountaintop from the mountaintop.

We start at the bottom and climb up.

Blood is involved.
