“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”– Arnold Schwarzenegger

I have struggled in my life from time to time, both emotionally and physically. I’ve endured levels of pain that actually caused me to blackout, and endured illness that’s lasted weeks. But right now I have a friend going through the most excruciating physical struggle of his life. His pain is not only as severe as it gets, but it’s been going on for a very, very long time. Today be grateful that, with any struggles you may have, that you are not facing his. And if you would close your eyes now please and say a tiny prayer of healing for my anonymous friend, I’d be eternally grateful. Because of all of you, ILML!
