You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You’re human, not perfect. You’ve been hurt, but you are alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty. We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us just around the bend. Happiness is not about getting all you want, it is about enjoying all you have. You owe yourself the love that you so freely give to other people. The past is your lesson. The present is your gift. The future is your motivation. Be grateful for where you are, and excited about where you’re going. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.
