25 Powerful Quotes That Will Motivate You To Create A More Blissful Change

Are you ready for change?

Are you hoping your child is ready for change as well?

Change is something we all experience.

When our kids are struggling with substance use, what parents want more than anything is for their son or daughter to get their life back on track. A healthy lifestyle is what we want for our kids.

Your child may change when you least expect it. You never know what will be the tipping point; their catalyst for change.

One thing you can do as a parent is to not give up hope. Your child can join the millions in recovery.

Here are 25 quotes to inspire change.

    Thank you, Cathy. I recently lost my 26-year old son to a heroin overdose. He was in recovery, living in a sober living home, taking classes to become a drug and alcohol counselor and relapsed. I am a yoga instructor and have a personal training business. The first part of the year I will be taking an yoga teacher training to teach yoga and meditation to those with trauma; PTSD, firefighters, policeman, addicts. I want to help in this realm. My website is http://www.raclarkefitness.com. I am glad I was introduced to you through my support group leader.

    In love and light,

    Great collection, Cathy. I like so many of them. I especially like #18 about change. Altering how we experience change can make a huge difference in our lives. I also especially like #20. I’m living proof of it! 🙂

      So often there is a silver lining if we look for it. We can learn from our experiences and be a better person. Hope your change is a positive one. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, Sandra.

    Change can be a long road. We have to keep pushing forward. We have to work on staying positive, grateful, living one day at a time and never give up.

    Nether one of my children are clean and don’t know if they will ever be. I have to pray for them. I have to remind them that their life can change with time and never give up on their dreams. I was far from being the greatest pedant in the world as they grew up. I never confronted them and always encouraged them to be better than me. I’m amazed at the changes I’ve made in my life and know that with change there’s growth Thank you for your encouragement. Hugs and God bless you all.

      Thank you, Melanie, for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I agree with you that change can be a long road. There are often many starts and stops when it comes to long-term change. That is wonderful that you remind your child that their life can change and not to give up. Know there is hope for your children.
