Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it quarely in the eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.

About This Quote

It is easy to focus on what we can’t do and what we cannot accomplish. We think about all of the things that could go wrong and we only think about the bad. We feel helpless and hopeless, because we can’t fight, or find a way out of the mess. It takes courage to face the inevitable.

It takes even greater courage to look at life with a positive attitude, even though we know that there will be more problems and challenges ahead. Life is an adventure and we need to be open to it and let ourselves succeed, whether we believe we can or not.
