strength-through-adversity

I must rule with eye and claw _ as the hawk among lesser birds. - Duke Leto Atreides

We face many trials, beyond our human ability to endure. We learn to depend on only God__ grace.

I am the bended, but not broken. I am the power of the thunderstorm. I am the beauty in the beast. I am the strength in weakness. I am the confidence in the midst of doubt. I am Her!

Spending time looking for what is missing in your life is futile; if you fail to look within yourself. When we challenge everything we believe we are, we reveal that which we never knew about our own selves.

If you have strength of character, you can use that as fuel to not only be a survivor but to transcend simply being a survivor, use an internal alchemy to turn something rotten and horrible into gold.

This story is not about avoiding death, but living life.

Your skill, strength, and overall survival are offensive to some people. Those are definitely not your people.

There is strength in every struggle. Struggles create opportunities for you to become stronger, wiser and better. The moment you shift your thinking from "I cannot" to "I must," you will begin to see 'Beyond the Pain' and draw strength from within. Learn to see each obstacle as a stepping stone and watch your life change significantly.

What makes one strong is not the ability to confront adversity and cruelty, but rather the ability to love in spite of it.

I think there__ a point in everyone__ life where they realize that despite their best efforts, they have no choice but to surrender. That carrying on will only bring them more pain or heartache. I don__ think there__ any way that we can avoid these moments. But I just want you to know that I__ not quite there yet.

When in doubt, throw doubt out and have a little faith....

Self-care is how you take your power back.

You can use the stumbling blocks to build your success.

Life may try to knock you down but be persistent with your passions - cultivate grit, resilience, tenacity and endurance success will come.

My Keeper's house. Right there. Brown shingles, dark red shutters, yellow-and-black police tape wrapped around the massive tree trunks. The attic window looks out over the yard and the world narrows until that attic window is the only thing I can see.
