Lailah Gifty AkitaThe deepest comfort comes from the divine self.
About This Quote
The divine self is the part of us that no one can take away. It’s the part of us that still knows what true happiness is even when all other parts of us are feeling adrift. It’s the part of us that makes us feel like we can do anything, even when all our other parts are saying no way. It’s the part of us that gives us the courage to face down any challenge in front of us, even when we feel like giving up. It’s the part of us that will never give up on ourselves, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
