Quote #178: Ella Stoney

Hi, I'm Ella Stoney, a member of H.H. Dow Student Leadership. A quote that is meaningful to me is, "Above the clouds, the sky is blue," said by St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

The reason I find this quote so meaningful is it reminds me that even when I'm tired, struggling, stressed, or feeling stuck, that isn't the whole story of who I am. Right now might feel heavy, but it doesn't erase my goals, my work ethic, or where I'm headed. Just because I can't see the "blue sky" doesn't mean it's gone.

This quote supports my wellbeing because it helps me stay mentally strong when things don't go as planned. It keeps me from defining myself with setbacks and helps me stay hopeful, patient and focused on growth instead of frustration.

So, what will you think of in your tough moments? This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. With love!
