Permission is often treated like a requirement for expression. Yet some voices move forward before permission ever arrives. What makes that step possible?

Famous quote by Dr. Maya Angelou: “You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.”
The key to overcoming these challenges is resilience and the mindset of viewing each defeat as a learning opportunity rather than a final verdict.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it."

The PHENOMENAL poem titled Still I Rise by my lifelong saviour, mentor and inspiration Maya Angelou. You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

For some reason hearing these words in this way shifted me permanently. Nothing can befall me that I don’t thank God for everyday - the good, the bad, the ugly it’s all divine ✨

Photo of a dot-grid notebook, lying on a light blue surface. Written in vivid hot-pink ink in handwriting are several stanzas of "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou — title and poet's name visible at top left, followed by the opening stanzas. At bottom right, a note reads "Diamine Hope Pink / Lamy 2000, F". A black Lamy 2000 fountain pen rests diagonally across the page. To the right sits a small bottle of Diamine Hope Pink ink, its deep pink colour visible through the glass. At the top of the notebook, a brass Traveler's Notebook charm clips the pages together.
#NewInkDay: Diamine Hope Pink in the Lamy 2000. "Still I Rise" by Mary Angelou.
An unapologetic poem, vibrant with life, to go with a audaciously pink ink.

“We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”
- Maya Angelou
Life isn’t about a perfect record; it’s about the strength to keep going after the setbacks. Every "defeat" is just a setup for a stronger comeback. Keep your head high. ✨

“Phenomenal Woman” through Maya Angelou is extra than a poem approximately beauty. It is a party of self-worth, the strength of self belief, and the significance of redefining societal standards.

“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.” ―Maya Angelou (1928-2014) From “Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now” #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #MayaAngelou Maya Angelou’s advice cuts through frustration with clarity and practicality: when something troubles you, you have two meaningful options, and one useless one. You can change the situation, or if that isn’t possible, you can change your perspective. What she dismisses entirely is passive complaint, which creates the illusion of action without producing any real change. Her words encourage responsibility, reminding us that while we may not control every circumstance, we always retain control over how we respond. The deeper power of this message lies in its emphasis on personal agency. Angelou isn’t suggesting that hardship is easy or that injustice should be ignored. Instead, she highlights the importance of constructive response over helpless frustration. Change begins either outwardly, through action, or inwardly, through mindset. In both cases, growth replaces stagnation. Her words remind us that peace and progress come not from wishing things were different, but from deciding how we will meet the reality in front of us.
“If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.”
