Here are 30 positive quotes about life throwing curveballs – to uplift and inspire you!
Remember…
When life throws you curveballs, hit them out of the park!
You must use your crisis pain as crisis fuel – and vow to move forward stronger and wiser!
Unfortunately, I know a lot about surprise curveballs. I was ready to get married – then found out my guy was what I call a Prince Harming.
But that wasn’t my only curveball that was thrown my way.
During this same time my dad passed away. I was majorly suffering from anxiety. So I went into research geek mode. I learned a range of science based relaxation tools – which helped me to better handle all the curveballs flying my way.
I share these science based “thought mastery” tools in my best selling audio and video program, The Anxiety Cure Online Course!
