"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."
- Helen Keller
Without some amount of trial and suffering in our lives, we as human beings cannot fully reach the depths of our character.
Despite the imagery of what the media, commercials and magazines bombard us with constantly, life is a mix of good with the bad and to believe that we can - or SHOULD - escape it is a pipe dream!
We cannot elude it - but we CAN use it to our advantage as we build our own identity and character - and by helping others who are in the midst of their own battles!!!
When the storm comes, do not cower and do not let it overwhelm you!
Embrace and accept the storms - the rewards for sticking it out are too numerous to count!!
You are not alone in your battle!
Be resolute in FAITH that the current storm will pass and we will all be stronger and better equipped for the next challenge that will inevitably rear it's head!!!
Even the most devastating and horrific storms pass!!
This is a fact!!
And we pick up the pieces and move forward!
Give thanks today for your many blessings that far outweigh any storm you are in the midst of today, and remain focused on the calm and peace that awaits you as the storm subsides!
Stay Strong!
