“We will know many defeats and feel pain like we feel air but just like the air we breathe, pain is a breather to move us forward. We will encounter many defeats as we journey through our lives. The outcome of each are unknown, the future to which we cannot know. But must we give up? Must we stay mute? Must we bury ourselves in the silence of the defeat? Must we dine with failure and make love to fear? Must we sleep on the altar of sorrow? Must we sleep long enough to forget who we are? No. We must learn by paying attention to the river, that never stops flowing even when surrounded by rocks. To the waves of the ocean that never stops rising even when it’s bound to crash at the shores. We will encounter many defeats and must learn over and over again that courage is the only way to stand and win at life.” CourageDefeatBlack Lives MatterCourage QuotesStrength Through Adversity Author:Yemeece
“Prophesy your life. Do you hear me? Let your dreams scare you. Let it shake you to your core. Let it make you sweat at the thought of it coming true. They won’t understand, don’t worry. It is never for them to understand, they call people like us crazy anyway. They call people like us arrogant. How dare we dream when they know all about our backgrounds? Still, we don’t owe anyone any explanation. Keep speaking over your life. Prophesy your life into happening. Let your dreams scare you. It is never for them, it is for you. It is for those coming after you. Dream.” VisionCourageDreamsQuotes To Live By Author:Yemeece
“No one knows you like you know you. This will be your greatest challenge and blessing. You are a room and often people will define you by the part of the room they see. Still, your challenge will be to explore every part of you with courage. This is how you experience the blessings of being you, and if you let them define you, well, what a limited life that would be.” InspirationCourageSelf Improvement Author:Yemeece
“The fear never goes away. It lurks around at every corner whispering your limitations in your own voice. and l have learnt, the trick is not to rebuke the fear, rather welcome it. question it, ask it why, and as it goes mute, tell it; I won’t let you tell my story.” FearCourage Author:Yemeece
“Grief is like the waves of the ocean on a never-ending mission to keep rolling always to crash at your feet. Only sometimes, it rages in anger, threatening to swallow everything there is left of you. Other times, it flows gently, brushing your feet softly but it never stops rolling. For as long as the waves of the ocean remain, so is the pain as long as life remains.” PainLossGriefSadnessOceanWaves Author:Yemeece

“A woman like you, how do we begin to describe you? how do we describe the strength of the eagle, when it rides against the wind and soars? how do we describe the ocean without paying homage to its depth? tell me, how do we begin to describe a woman like you?” International Womens Day Author:Yemeece
