Quotes from Single Woman





The Single Woman by Mandy Hale is primarily about letting go and moving on from failed relationship and knowing one’s self worth with God given gifts. The book is very inspiring and promotes positivity despite odd in life.  We love.  We have loved. We loss the love and we were hurt.  We cried. We suffered pain but from all of these are still experiences that we have to be thankful for because it means blessings for something better are coming.  My top 10 favorite lines from the book are:

1. “Love is not finding a “better half” but an “equal match”.  Love is letting go when you want to hold on.  Love will never require you to sacrifice your dreams or your dignity. 

Love isn’t uncertainty.  It isn’t a “maybe” thing.  It isn’t a question. Its always an answer.”

2.   “When things end with no warning and leave you feeling as though your world has been flipped upside down, something greater is at work. The exit of that person, thing or dream was a boarding pass to somewhere new, somewhere better, somewhere you need to be that you weren’t going to reach without losing some baggage.  Realized that if a door closed, its because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you.”

3. “Seasons come, seasons go, seasons change, but the lessons remain.  You cant force a season to last if its time has passed.  Happiness is loving every season for different reasons.  Embrace the season you’re in, and when its time to let go, embrace your chance to begin again.”

4. “You cant truly heal from a loss until you allow yourself to really feel the loss.”

5. “Whatever you’re facing in your life - -a test, a heartbreak, a detour, a letdown, a doctor’s appointment, a delayed dream --- when the rains of fear come, let your windshield wipers of faith answer.  Stand strong, knowing that your destination is still there,  It hasn’t changed, and it can never be erased by a few drops of rain.”

6. “Life wasn’t meant to have an eraser.  Much like enthusiastic kids, were meant to finger-paint boldly on the canvas of life with no thought of how perfect the finished product might be.  Life isn’t meant to be lived perfectly but merely to be lived-boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, and magically lived.”

7. “Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place.”

8. “Don’t run from what was.  Embrace it.  Allow it to wash over you, cleansing you for the past and carrying you into the future.  We are not meant to go through life as blank canvasses.  Things, people, and events leave their mark on you, and you leave your mark on them, resulting in the beautiful masterpiece of a well-lived life.”

9. “As messy battle-scared, and imperfect as your journey may be, it is uniquely yours, and that makes it beautiful.”

10.                    In heartbreak lies opportunity.  Lessons learned from one broken heart have the power to heal thousands more.”
