Motivational Quote by Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Love is faithful action toward others, not passing emotion.”

“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.”

“Draw close to those who bring you peace. Hold fast to their presence.”

“Goodness is making its way to you; give thanks in the waiting, and keep your hope steady.”

“A person nurtured by love and one forced into self-reliance perceive the world through fundamentally different lenses. One walks with openness; the other with caution.”

“Wonder does not bow to perfection; it is the imperfect that often carries its quiet radiance.”

“Step into the day grounded in strength, anchored in calm, and open to the joy prepared for you.”

“A lesson any writer can use. Don’t be afraid. That simple; don’t let them scare you. There’s nothing they can do to you. If they kick you out of films, do TV. If they kick you out of TV, write novels. If they won’t buy your novels, sell short stories. Can’t do that, then take a job as a bricklayer. A writer always writes. That’s what he’s for. And if they won’t let you write one kind of thing, if they chop you off at the pockets in the market place, then go to another market place. And if they close of all the bazaars, then by God go and work with your hands till you can write, because the talent is always there. But the first time you say, “Oh, Christ, they’ll kill me!” then you’re done. Because the chief commodity a writer has to sell is his courage. And if he has none, he is more than a coward. He is a sellout and a fink and a heretic, because writing is a holy chore.”

“Haters are your biggest admires. No-one dedicates their lives into knowing every step that you take more than your haters. In fact, the difference between your supporters and your haters is that your supporters are able to sleep at night after learning about your progress, whereas the haters get stressed and miserable from seeing you shine. Nonetheless, stick to your progress.”

“Let the rest of your life become the brightest chapter, shaped by grace and purpose.”
