Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. – Christian D. Larson

Life can be challenging.  In fact, life can be down right difficult at times.  We fight, we struggle, we persevere and sometimes it seems like no matter how hard we try, we just keep getting knocked on our tushies.  I’m guessing sometimes you feel like you just want to give up.  I know I have felt that way on more than one occasion.  But here’s the thing.  No matter what life throws in your direction, you can deal with it.  In fact, more than just deal with it, you can stomp on it and smoosh it down into submission, or you can use it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things.  You have inside of you this spark, this special something called strength and it gives you power.  You have the power to rise above the challenges life throws at you.  You have a choice, you can let the obstacles beat you down, or you can rise above them.  Make the right choice and use the strength and power that is within you.  Believe you your strength.
