Quotes by Scott Stabile

Thank you for being such a beautiful friend. I am in awe of you.

I know it’s hard sometimes to recognize how truly beautiful you are, and how truly worthy of love you have always been and will always be. It’s hard sometimes to see the truth of your divinity amidst the closed, judgmental opinions of the outside world, and of your own critical mind. But your beauty and your worthiness have nothing to do with anyone’s opinions, or anyone’s mind, not even your own. Your real truth lives in the heart, and your heart, as big and open and generous as it is, will never stop marveling at your stunning existence.

Um, enough apologies, okay?Just get on with being your badass self.

We can’t always be as brave as we want or need to be. We don’t always make the harder choice, the one we know we need to make in order to change things for real. Sometimes we give in to our fear. We choose known over unknown, comfort over uncertainty. Even though that’s often not ideal—to create our lives from fear—it’s definitely human. And, it’s okay. Our courage doesn’t suddenly disappear just because we choose to ignore it. It may hide for a bit and make us work a little harder for its attention, but it’s always there within us. We are born courageous, after all. Beautiful and brave. Whenever we get tired of playing at life with fear’s rules, at last determined to change things for real, our courage will be there—ready, able, excited for us to let it do its thing.

I’m trusting that the pain of letting go will be eclipsed by the relief of moving on.

I had to break to pieces, so I could reassemble even stronger.

Listen to me, you’ve got this. Seriously, you’ve got this.

Option A:Spend your life trying to get others to accept you.Option B:Accept yourself, and spend your life with others who recognize what a beauty you are.

Compassion grows in the recognition that we are all the same.If you can’t see some part of yourself in every single person you encounter, then you’re not looking closely enough, at the person or at yourself.

We are all many things. Sometimes people get used to us being the one thing they most expect from us, and they dont know how to handle the other many things we are and have to offer. This is not our limitation to own. Lets be whatever many things our heart calls us to be. Theres not a lot of consistency in freedom, aside from fluid movement among the many things we are. And thats a mighty beautiful thing.

Everything is not a competition. In fact, nothing is, unless we make it so. Lets stand with, not against each other. Were all bringing our own magic to this world. Its not about greater than or less than.”We can’t be in competition with each other if we just refuse to compete.

We are here to love. Everything else is distraction.

Maybe you’re not breaking down.Maybe you’re breaking through.

Its easy to waste too many words—and too much energy—on nonsense we dont even care about. What a relief it is to start giving time and energy to what matters most (whatever that is for you). We choose what gets our attention. Why not choose things that are worthy of it?When he chose only to speak about things he absolutely believed, knew to be true, or really cared about, he was delighted by how much less talking he needed to do.

You are not your mind. You don’t have to believe the lies it tells you about yourself.

With each day that passes, it becomes more and more clear that the most true way to make it through this life is with the deepest possible commitment to compassion and a relentless dedication to love.

Love is not quiet.Love is loud and clear. Love makes noise for justice, against all injustice,and never forgets those most vulnerable.I am seeing, more clearly than ever,what Love demands,and I will do my best to answer its callwith conviction, and an open heart for all.

A few things to remember:You are beautiful, just as you are. You are as worthy as anyone who has ever lived. Your voice doesnt just matter but is needed.Your love makes a profound difference.Your compassion serves us all.We are family.Well figure that out someday,with a lot of dedication and hard work.It will be worth it.I love you.

I’ve come to understand that life is a constant letting go.
