When You've Got to Encourage Yourself - A Dear Wednesday Exclusive


Neon pink sign that says "Be Brilliant"
Be Brilliant. Inspire People.

Dear Wednesday,


When we gathered together to work on #DearWednesday for this week, we wanted to provide you an exhaustive list of encouragement that will last you the rest of the year to include websites, books/articles, podcasts, songs, quotes, Youtubes and Instagram accounts.


When challenging times come, we all need a word from somewhere and somebody who can speak to our hearts like no one else. This Dear Wednesday is dedicated to the inspiration that is inspiring us everyday. May it inspire you as you practice self-love, self-acceptance, and unlocking your full potential as a human being.


And visit/subscribe to our blog here for more inspiration and encouragement and share this with others.

Quotes and Scriptures that Feed Us in 2019

  • “No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else” P.T. Barnum The Greatest Showman 

  • “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10, The Bible

  • “Rise up ... take courage and do it.” Ezra 10:4, The Bible

  • “If you fall-and trust me, you will- make sure you fall on your back. Because if you fall on your back, you can see up. And if you can see up, you can get up. And you can keep going and going and going.” Hoda Kotb

  • “People get scared when you try to do something, especially when it looks like you're succeeding. People do not get scared when you're failing. It calms them. But when you're winning, it makes them feel like they're losing or, worse yet, that maybe they should've tried to do something too, but now it's too late. And since they didn't, they want to stop you. You can't let them.” Mindy Kaling

  • “To Me, Failure is Not Trying, Rather than Not Succeeding” Sara Blakely (Founder of Spanx)
