The struggle and pain you may be going through right now, is not how your story is going to end. It is just a chapter and part of the hero’s journey. And some day it may be someone else’s survival manual.
You are also the author of your story…and you have a lot more power on how this story is going to go than you may believe.
Here are some things to remember on your darkest days:
- A river cuts through rock not because of its power but because of its persistence.
- There is no failure except in no longer trying.
- When you feel like giving up, remember why you started.
- Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you thought you couldn’t.
- What makes us victorious isn’t our genetics, talents or skills. It’s showing up every day and not giving up. It’s allowing pain to become our teacher, our ally.
- Storms make trees grow deeper roots.
- Where there is a will, there is a way.
- Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.
- Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.
- Our worst days are only 24 hours.
- Don’t quit. You’re already in pain. You’re already hurt. Get a reward from it.
- You don’t know it yet, but there are many people who will be rooting for you in this current chapter. Be the inspiration they need. Show them that they have the power and strength to overcome anything.
