Strength & Resilience

“You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.”

“You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”

“Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does.”

“The sun is a daily reminder that we too can rise again from the darkness, that we too can shine our own light.”

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
