![]() Sometimes simply getting out of bed, putting on your clothes and getting through the day is all you can manage. If today is one of those days for you, here are twelve quotes to help you do it. Stay strong, sister. Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness. I am protective of the gentle slope of stomach bulging like an early pregnancy, at my waist. I've earned its existence with everything I've been forced to swallow. People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands. We must do that which we think we cannot. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. Where there is no struggle, there is no strength. Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Don't wish me happiness — I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor — I will need them all. With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. I was not rescued by a prince; I was the administrator of my own rescue. Like this post?
