More quotes by Bethany Hamilton
When I was about five, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and since then it's just been a stronghold in my life. Really, through the shark attack and all the hard times that my family and I went through, it gave us unity and perseverance to push through all this crazy stuff that we never knew was going to happen.
Bethany Hamilton
Getting back on the surfboard after the [shark] attack was the hardest thing and I did it! After that, the hardest thing was my first competition.
Bethany Hamilton
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.
Bethany Hamilton
I think sharks are beautiful creatures, and I don't think we should stop going in the ocean because of them. You drive down the road and you get in an accident, but most people end up driving down the road again. Surfing is you're going into their home and it's just a natural part of life.
Bethany Hamilton
I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.
Bethany Hamilton
The end...is just the beginning
Bethany Hamilton
People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.
Bethany Hamilton
You fall off the horse and you get back on.
Bethany Hamilton
We all go through rough times. We have those obstacles that seem too large to overcome or that current that you never seem to swim out of. We have to decide what matters most to us - our passions.
Bethany Hamilton
Like, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don't do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.
Bethany Hamilton
Love God love others do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
Bethany Hamilton
I can't change it, That was God's plan for my life and I'm going to go with it.
Bethany Hamilton
I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe He gave me the passion and determination to continue surfing. You fall off the horse, and you get back on. I had to go for it.
Bethany Hamilton
I think passion is something that's more powerful than even love. It's something that you're not willing to let go of, and you'll work really hard to make sure that stays a part of your life.
Bethany Hamilton
Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.
Bethany Hamilton
It's hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode wave in for the first time after the attack. I was incredibly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me you'll never surf again was gone in one wave.
Bethany Hamilton
I wouldn't change what happened to me because then I wouldn't have this chance, in front of all of you, to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.
Bethany Hamilton
Both of my parents are surfers, of course, so they understood where my passion for surfing was at and I guess they saw the talent that I had.
Bethany Hamilton
I don't really want people looking to me for inspiration. I just want to be a sign along the way that points toward Heaven.
Bethany Hamilton
I don't know how long I'll be competing but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.
