Taking the step to meet your challenges is often the hardest step, but resolution is on it’s way because you have faced your problems. Wishing for problems to go away does absolutely nothing but create more problems. “We must meet the challenge rather than wish it were not before us.” – William J.
THROUGH THE DARKEST OF TIMES QUOTE SKIN
Do you feel like you’re hanging by your fingernails, by a thread, by the skin of your teeth, etc.? It’s usually right at your most absolute, most desperate, weakest moment that things suddenly change. Some days it’s like that, isn’t it? You have no idea how you are still managing, but somehow you do. “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” – Franklin D. And it is most often going through heartbreaking tough times that create tough people. Tough times might stick around for awhile, but they don’t last forever. “Tough times never last, but tough people do.” – Robert H. A great measure includes someone being willing to see the validity in opposing arguments, as well as someone who is dedicated, fair, and courageous in hard times. It is possible to know the true mettle of a person when they are faced with trials and most especially controversy.
“The ultimate measure of a man is where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. It might take a while to muster the strength, but rise again. You might be down right now, but don’t stay there forever. The point of life is to never fall down or make mistakes, but instead, like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, you have turned into something stronger and better. “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucius
