Glennon Doyle Melton Quotes
There Is No Way To Overpower, Outrun, Or Outsmart The Mad Dog Of Hopelessness Because It's Simply More Vicious Than I. The Only Thing To Do Is Let It Attack, Go Limp In Its Jaws, And Be Shaken. But I Notice One Promising Pattern. If I Play Dead, It Will Eventually Let Me Go. I Start Thinking Of The Dog Of Hopelessness As An Obstacle That Will Reappear On Every Curve Of The Spiral Staircase. He'll Always Be There Waiting And Snarling, But With Every Go-round, I'll Be More Confident And Less Fearful. Eventually, I'll Learn The Tricks That Will Allow Me To Breeze Right Past Him. But The Mad Dog Of Hopelessness Will Always Be There. My Spiral Staircase Of Progress Means That My Pain Will Be Both Behind Me And In Front Of Me, Every Damn Day. I'll Never Be "over It," But I Vow To Be Stronger Each Time I Face It. Maybe The Pain Won't Change, But I Will. I Keep Climbing.
