Quotes by Shannon L. Alder

Real women fight for something, other than their own emotions.

Never pray to be a better slave when God is trying to get you out of your situation.

I could crawl inside the lyrics and know each note intimately. They would claw at my soul, until I could no longer fight the emotions that took me to a place I couldnt experience. But, it was the possibility that made every verse a heart filled prediction and every beat a direction to follow.

Passion is not a reaction to an external event. It is the left over emotions from the internal battles you have won that propels you forward.

If you truly feel that self esteem and motivation have to happen first before you can make changes in your life, then we’ll probably be sharing walkers at a retirement home as we talk over what might have been.

Never give up on someone. Sometimes the answers you are looking for are the same answers another person is looking for. Two people searching together are always better than one person alone.

Often people that criticise your life are usually the same people that dont know the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul.

There comes a time in your life when you can no longer put off choosing. You have to choose one path or the other. You can live safe and be protected by people just like you, or you can stand up and be a leader for what is right. Always, remember this: People never remember the crowd; they remember the one person that had the courage to say and do what no one would do.

A friend is not the shadow that mimics you, but the one who casts all shadows away.

The only difference between you and the person you admire is their perspective on life.

What if you were wrong? What if everything you ever believed was a lie? What if you missed your opportunity because you didnt know your worth? What if you settled on familiar, but God was trying to give you something better? What if you decided not to go backwards, but forward? What if doing what you have never done before was the answer to everything that didnt make sense? What if the answer wasnt to be found in words, but in action? What if you found the courage to do what you really wanted to do and doing it changed your whole life?

The greatest temptation you will ever have in your life is to give up on what you truly want because it seemed to difficult to have. If you put your loyalty into anything, put it into believing in yourself.

If you walk in any direction walk in the direction toward your greatest dream.

You wont find peace with another, until you become one person--not two.

Peace can only be found in what your extraordinary imagination has defined as an ordinary life.

If you have never met a woman that would never give up, then you have never met a woman that has seen miracles.

There is no failure in loving someone, only in never letting them know.

You will never find peace when the need you cling to is not the want you desire. But when does a want become a need... when it is all you think about?

Happy people can look back and say they chose their life, not settled for it.

So many people focus on who they will be that they never get around to figuring out who they are.
