The author draws on cutting-edge research, surprising cultural history of remembering, and venerable tricks of the mentalist’s trade to transform our understanding of human memory. This book is an electrifying work of journalism that reminds us that, in every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories.

It is in the spirit of Charles Munger, who says, “All I want to know is where I’m going to die so I’ll never go there.” Some roads lead to unhappiness.

30 Inspirational Quotes for People Living with Sickle Cell

30 Inspirational Quotes for People Living with Sickle Cell

Just as It sucks to sometimes get up in the morning and your bones decide to do their own thing, so also is it really frustrating to not be able to do the things you want to do; to take cold things because the weather calls for it, to play football because you have passion for it, or to be spontaneous.

Whether you are living with sickle cell or you know someone who has sickle cell, you already know that it requires a lot of strength and motivation. We all know how crazy it is to constantly be on medication ranging from folic acid (the smell alone is enough to knock you out), ibuprofen, and many others. The excruciating pain that gets you tied down in the hospital bed for days, weeks, and even months. You need some sort of motivation and inspiration to keep moving.

This is why I have put together some sickle cell quotes to inspire you to live life not just as a sickle cell patient but as someone who has a lot to achieve. These sickle cell quotes are by warriors like you, like me, like all of us, who have deemed it fit to inspire us with their great words.

You might think you don’t need these sickle cell awareness quotes because you are not a sickle cell patient or no one in your family is, but the truth is that whether or not you are a sickle cell patient, as long as a friend, a classmate or a colleague is one, then you need these quotes to help the person through the journey of life.

As we are in the month of sickle cell awareness, it is important to have inspiring quotes for all the sickle cell patients, for all the warriors/fighters. Sharing these quotes is one of the things to do in sickle cell awareness month.

All these things are qualities of survivors.

For the chronically ill, this terrible event has already happened, and we have been let in on an amazing secret: You survive. You adapt, and your life changes, but in the end you go on, with whatever compromises you have been forced to make, whatever losses you have been forced to endure. You learn to balance your fears with the simple truth that you must go on living. 

Jamie Weisman

 Elizabeth Kubler Ros

30. I am strong and determined. I am brilliant and beautiful. I am an educator and an advocate. I am not defined by a diagnosis, nor will I submit to a stereotype. I insist upon compassionate care, adequate pain, control and respectful communication. When a crisis brings me to my knees, I will nurse my wounds, dust my knees off, and keep on fighting. When a warrior is lost, I will grieve that loss and fight that much harder. I am beautifully and wonderfully made. I am a sickle cell warrior. Take a moment, enjoy the awesome. 

Kiea

Finally, to add to the above sickle cell quotes, I would like to share with you this beautiful poem written by Nana Kofi Acheamfour and Kerry Lewis, dedicated to all sickle cell warriors.

Sickle Cell Poem

I AM A WARRIOR.

The road to success may be rough,

But I will never fall.

For every situation, I WILL stand tall.

Crisis and disappointment will not discourage me,

at all.

I AM A WARRIOR.

I may stumble along the way,

But in myself, I shall always believe,

I will not let the pain and fatigue

Stand in the way of all that I can achieve

I AM A WARRIOR.

The battle chose me,

But it is not Mine.

With my Savior and family beside me

I will continuously shine.

Today, I may be down and in pain,

But know that tomorrow I shall rise again.

I may sometimes have weaker feet,

but I will never ever retreat.

With courage and determination,

I will reach my destination

Because…… I AM A WARRIOR!
