Looking for favorite IF quotes!

Keephope2012 · January 2013

Hi everyone,

I am looking for quotes that keep you motivated during IF. I am going to put one quote a day on my fridge during our upcoming IVF cycle. I did this last time and it was a good motivator and DH liked the little surprise. So any good ones to pass along??

I'm on my phone now, but check out my Pinterest board..... The Journey. I've got some good ones there :]

A few from my pinterest board. Some are religious, sorry if that's not everyone's cup of tea:

I am a strong person, but every now and then I also need someone to take my hand and say everything will be all right...

Stars can't shine without darkness.

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

God gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers.

A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.

Hope is the little voice you hear whisper "maybe" when it seems the entire world is shouting "no!"

Don't look back. You're not going that way.

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you'll always be in the same place.

Often it's the deepest pain which empowers you to grow to into your highest self.

Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Let your faith be bigger than your fears.

I want to start a similar thread with the most ridiculous things people tell me as words of advice!

"It will all be okay in the end. And if it's not okay, it's not the end."

A fellow bumpie sent me a bookmark with this quote on it. I often times have a hard time with getting worked up about things that aren't even here yet or wallowing in today's bad news. When I catch myself doing that, I read this poem and it really helps!

It's not about having everything right;
It's facing whatever goes wrong.
It's not about being without fear;
it's having the determination to go on in spite of it.
It's not where you stand,
but the direction you are going in.
Remember to live just this one day
and not add tomorrow's troubles to today's load.
Remember that every day ends
and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things.
Love what you do,
Do the best you can,
And always remember how much you are loved.

My favorite one has always been:

"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." -Louise Driscoll

For the days I need to know this is worth it: "Before a great vision can become reality, there may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with great difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we push against difficulty in bringing forth dreams. Out of chaos brilliant stars are born." I Ching Hexagram #3

For the days I need to be reminded I'm strong enough: "Promise me you'll always remember- you're stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and braver than you believe." from Christopher Robin to Pooh

And when I need a reminder that I am not going to lose my mind: "Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." Unknown

Always on my fridge: "If you're going though hell, keep going" Churchill
