More quotes by Bethany Hamilton
Being able to turn to Jesus after the shark attack kept me alive.
Bethany Hamilton
In the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.
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
Our health and well-being is something that we can almost control, to a certain extent. We can choose to eat healthy, we can choose to think positively, and we can choose to have good posture. All this stuff makes a difference, and the way that you look and feel, and your confidence.
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 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
Your looks do not define who you are.
Bethany Hamilton
I'm just waiting for God to tell me what to do, but whatever it is, I want to be doing something like I am doing now-serving God and helping people.
Bethany Hamilton
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of the heck with sugar and spice.
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
Surfing is very special and unique. It's really hard to explain unless you've tried it. It's being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it's like an art form in a way.
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
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
It's easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
Bethany Hamilton
Love is bigger then a tsunami, stronger then any fear.
Bethany Hamilton
I gave my heart to Jesus when I was five-years-old and since then it's been a special relationship. To me it's not a religion it's just talking to God, reading his word, and doing my best to honor him in everything I do.
Bethany Hamilton
Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.
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
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.
Bethany Hamilton
It's sad to hear that 1 in 3 girls have an eating disorder, because they're trying to be something that they think they need to be, when it's such a lie that they believe. Meanwhile all over the world there's people that are starving or dying of something crazy that we forget, and we think we're the only ones in this world.
