Great Quotes

March 1, 2023 by Gabe

You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared, or anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.

Lori Deschene

This quote emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and accepting all of our emotions, even the difficult ones. It encourages individuals to recognize that having negative emotions doesn’t make them a bad person, but rather a human being with complex feelings and experiences.

When you’re struggling with the pressure to always stay positive or when you may feel guilty for experiencing negative emotions, remember to reframe your thinking and recognize that it’s okay to feel a wide range of emotions. All your feelings are valid and deserving of attention and care.
