I didn't know I had it in me. There's more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We're capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Queen Latifah
About This Quote

Life is like a roller coaster. We all start out on the ground floor and we all go up and down. Sometimes we get stuck at the bottom, sometimes we get stuck at the top, but we keep moving. Some of us don't move up as fast as others, but we always keep moving.

Sometimes when you are in the middle of a ride, you are not sure if you are going to fall or stay where you are. You are not sure when the ride is going to end or when you are going to reach your next destination. But, it's when you fall that you understand what it takes to get back up.

Most of us do not believe that we have it in us to get back up after falling down. We believe that if we fall down, it's over for us. But this is not true.

We have the ability to keep getting back up after falling down because there is more to all of us than we realize.
