I’m not ‘different’ from anyone else. Crises and tough emotional periods are the grit around which my inner self has been formed. Some, I have come through with more grace than others.

About This Quote

The great thing about crisis is that it forces us to find out who we are. When our lives are in crisis, we are forced to look at ourselves, what we are made of. We are forced to be honest with ourselves. We are forced to see what our true strengths are and where our weaknesses lie.

That is what makes us who we are and what makes us human. Those who come through the crisis with more grace than others, those who rise above the challenge and carry on better than most do not have a struggle so great that they cannot handle it. They have a struggle so great that they rise above it and press on even harder than before.
