FINDING YOUR STRENGTHIt is not easy. Some days are more of a struggle than others. And thoughsometimes it feels like it will never get better, eventually, if you keep working onit, it will get better. Although at times you may feel that what’s happened to youhas set you so far behind, it actually may have pushed you far ahead. You’ve beengiven tremendous exposure to a different view of life that so many never see.You have gained so much strength and wisdom and may not realize it. Instead oflooking back on what you lost, look at what you’ve gained. Find your strength.“If you think you aren’t strong or worth anything, thinkabout the fact that you get out of bed everyday, right?You live everyday, right? You’re contributing to life,right? That’s power. That’s progress. That’s strength.That’s empowerment. Undoubtedly what happened toyou has had a huge impact on you and your family,but it represents a mere fraction of what you arecapable of accomplishing, of who you are, and most ofall, what you can overcome.Whatever happens from here on out, know that mosteverything can be okay. You are amazing. No matterwhat happens, you’ve won. Don’t forget that. Ever. ”44
