About This Quote
When you’re finally ready to leave it all behind, you’ll find out that the things that can go wrong are very, very real. You can be robbed, assaulted, or even killed. You can lose your job. You can be diagnosed with some horrible disease.
You can get into a car accident or be involved in a domestic disturbance. You can even fall on some icy steps and break your hip—or worse. But once you realize all of this, you soon realize it doesn't make any difference to what's important to you.
It's about how you choose to deal with these trials that matters most.
