THE SCARS IN OUR STARS.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars._Khalil Gibran.

Scars are a truly beautiful thing. Yes, they can be a little ugly on the outside, but scars show that you're a survivor, that you made it through something, and not only did you make it through, but now you're stronger and wiser and more educated because of that tough time that you went through._Kyle Carpenter.

Turn your scars into stars._Robert H. Schuller.

We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle._Marylin Munroe.

Stars rise and ride in the midst of darkness because without the emergence of darkness you can never behold a star in it's full glory.

Stars are not chiseled from pleasurable situations and during the days of drinking and eating rambunctiously.

Stars like Eagles learn to use the scars that life has ingrained in their mortal bodies to soar during life storms when it seems that they are head over heels and out of power to control their circumstance.

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with._Harry Crews.

Stars are the heroes of their circumstances, they show you that they have been there and they conquered and that you too can become a conqueror because like them you are a potential star.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. _ Mother Theresa.

I know this because at a time in my life I was in a moment of darkness. At that time I was just diagnosed with PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA and it seems that my life was at a stand still and a complete mess and I just couldn't do anything right because I didn't possess the power to so do until my parents and siblings told me that; this is wrong, don't do that again, these can be likened to my dark times but eventually to the glory of God I came out of it soaring with wings like an eagle does in the midst of the storm.

You can tell a lot about a man from his hands. If they don't have any scars or calluses on them, you might as well assume they cry at romantic comedy films, too._Ellie Hollman.

I thought I wouldn't be able to come out of it but thank God for my Mum and dad, they were always there admonishing, telling me this is not the end, because I despaired. I cried for death but it wasn't just forthcoming, thinking that this was the end of my life, but my family helped me pick my way out of the midst of the storm in my darkest times.

Wounds turn into scars and scars make you tough._Aisha Tyler.

This is not the end of your life, it's just a phase, don't give up now, there is so much ahead of you in glory and awe that will change your life So hold on to the end, because the storm you are currently in will soon be over and done with like it was never there before and your star will begin to rise and soar.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars._Og Mandino.

Stars are not encumbered by the vicissitudes of life, they don't say,”oh, am I the only one alive, why are this things happening only to me and my family?.”

Scars remind you of difficult places in your life that you've championed._Bret Bielema

They don't despair to the point of throwing in the towel, wherever you maybe now, don't throwaway the isotope and atom of your faith as it possess a great recompense of reward.

If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless._James E. Faust

If you don't give up at what you do in a month, a year or years, you are sure to emerge a star.

Stars are not beaten by the wind, pestilence, humidity, precipitation,or thunderstorm but rather in the midst of all this is when a star shines more and even brightest in all it's glory.

I have a lot of scars, man. My mother said that a man is not a man unless he has a scar on his face. And what she meant by a scar was some kind of battle that you had to go through, whether it was psychological or physical. To her, a scar was actually beautiful and not something that marred you._Nick Nolte.

Stars don't shine in the glory of the sun, you may not shine now but maybe impressed by the Glory of the rising of the sun of many. But don't despair, rather hang in there, because when your star will arise in the midst of the storm, and in all it's glory at the time when the glory of the sun of those you have once envied in Church past seems to be fading, then all Men will then begin to seek for thee, and those things, that you seem to be chasing after before in life, will now begin to juggle for your attention.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare._Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You are an ANATOLE (A RISING STAR).

I have noticed in my own life that when a star is rising, there are often a miriad of distraction, that arises as opportunities in wolf's clothing, to make you lose your attention, so you can't emerge strong as a star at the other side. But don't be distracted, don't allow your attention to be diffracted even for a minute. Because the enemy of your rising, is masking himself in what we call opportunities, with the intent stripping you off your place, in the palaces of the Great and thereby making you not emerge as a Star.

What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars._William Wordsworth

In the school of Stardom, Sacrifice is a necessary requirement, in emerging as a triumphant conquerer. If you have never suffered any period of hopeless or outright despair in your life, it could be because you hid yourself from the chiseling process of Stardom and carefully murdered your chances of being a star on the bed of security.

Stars are those who step out of their comfort zone, not knowing what await them on the other side of the street. Without a sense of urgency to move, a star can never arise.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit._Helen Keller

Just like super heroes, stars never arise until the darkest of times, and they don't flinch and relinquish their vision during times and periods of obvious uncertainties but rather cling to their principles and paradigm and at the end emerge as the stars they have always seen themselves to be. Stars are like Winston Churchill while he was addressing the whole of Europe in her war against Hitler, Germany and her allies in the BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS SPEECH.

Stars don't faint during the race through life, because they possess this consciousness, that keeps informing them, that only those who run the race to the end, shall be rewarded.

You can get knocked down, and it hurts and it leaves scars. But if you're a leader, the people you've counted on will help you up. And if you're a leader, the people who count on you need you on your feet._Stanley A. McChrystal

Therefore as a star, dust yourself up from your previous trial, get up when situations of life pulls you down, don't cry and say like the blind man in Bethsaida, I HAVE NO MAN, but rather when life pulls you down seven times, make sure you stand up the eighth time, don't let life conquer you by making you simmer and bask in the ocean of hopelessness but rather pick yourself up and continue the journey. Make sure you conquer life and stand up triumphant at the end like the Eiffel Tower.

Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition._Isaac Asimov.

If you don't give up at this point, it will just take a few more days, a few more weeks, perhaps a few more months and eventually a few more years, and your star will arise in all it's glory, and honestly, you will be dead stunned to all it's awe.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh._Leonard Cohen.

Stars don't compete with small minded people for the things of life, because they possess this unalterable consciousness, that there is vast space for everyone one at the top, who cares to embrace the level of Sacrifice to emerge as a star, and to eventually emerge as one, BECAUSE THOSE WHO COMPARE THEMSELVES BY THEMSELVES ARE NOT WISE.

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds._Joseph Addison.

You are a Star, therefore stop puttering like a chicken by looking for what to compete with others for, but rather begin to walk on rising, and with time you will emerge like the eagle and star you are. Eventually you will begin to soar up there where you have no one to compete with but yourself.

Scars show toughness: that you've been through it, and you're still standing._Theo Rossi.

Stars don't compete with others in the race of life, but rather they compete with themselves, to better their lot, so as to make them a 2024 version of themselves.

You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth._Jane Fonda.

A star is always committed to life long improvement. They are ever committed to growth and unceasing change all through their lives.

We are still living in the aftershock of Hiroshima, people are still the scars of history._Edward Bond

Stars don't shine in the light, but amidst the curtain of overwhelming darkness. Because without darkness, there will never be stars. Stars arise to combat the darkness dispelled over a particular group of people in perilous times.
