Quotes, gedichten en andere stukjes taal
Toen ik in 2017 begon aan mijn exposure therapie, heb ik op internet gezocht naar het antwoord op de vraag "hoe wordt ik moedig?" Ik vond er zo 1,2,3 geen antwoord op. Uiteindelijk kwam ik de quote van Ambrose Redmoon over moed tegen. Ik ontdekte de kracht van quotes, gedichten en andere stukjes taal en heb er sindsdien een aantal verzameld. Zij helpen mij op moeilijke momenten snel herinneren aan wat er te doen is.
Quotes
| Ambrose Redmoon | Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. |
| Dr. Jane Goodall | I think perhaps the most import things we could learn from chimpanzees is they're very good at reconciliation after conflict. We don't seem to be very good at that.

| Eugène Bindels | Leef, want het is maar voor even. |

Gedichten
| David Herbert Lawrence - Self pity | I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. |
| Guillaume Apollinaire |
"Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, We will fall!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. And so they came. And he pushed them. And they flew. |

| Wanneer je hoofd het probleem niet opgelost krijgt, kies dan met je hart. | |
| Evan Almighty | If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other? |
