Believe!

"Life is not easy for any of us.
> But what of that?
> We must have perseverance
> and above all confidence in ourselves.
> We must believe that we are gifted for something
> and that this thing must be attained."
>   - Marie Curie
>
> We are all exactly where we are supposed to be right now.
>
> Challenges and trials are unavoidable and inevitable and should be embraced - not feared!!
>
> Cast aside all fear of the unknown and cleanse your mind of the negative "what if" scenarios that never seem to come to fruition yet take up 99% of our thoughts on a daily basis.
>
> Focus instead on the fact that everything works itself out. No matter your trial or your current cross to bear, believe me that you will come through it - stronger,  wiser, and more aware of the draining impact of needless worry.
>
> You are in this challenge because that is what life is...To steal Wesley's line from The Princess' Bride - "Life is Pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something."
>
> But just as trials and challenges are part of life, so are the rewards for persevering and overcoming them!
>
> Therefore do not hide in the dark in fear of what awaits us as each new sun arises - instead meet the challenge and battle with confidence,  with passion, with unwavering strength and conviction that NO PROBLEM is insurmountable nor is it going to last forever!
>
> Believe it - get off the back of your heels and go on the offensive!
>
> Smile through it - accept it - and most importantly know that you will be btter for it!!
>
> "This too shall pass" is a FACT - not an empty cliche!
>
> It is all going to be ok - it always is!!!
>
> Stay Strong
