struggle

If she[_] had known how much her first half-inch beginning to let go would take - and how long her noticing and renouncing owning and her turning her habits, and beginning the slimmest self-mastery whose end was nowhere in sight - would she have begun?

My life's been defined by my actions. I've shaped my destiny through my battles. I would rather keep chasing after my dreams until I crumble into dust than sit around waiting for fate to show me mercy.

Only those who have tasted the bitterest of the bitter can become people who stand out among others. -Guanchang Xianxing Ji

Does this world feel like hell to you? Of course it does, because it is.

By forgetting the Supreme Lord, all the ailments cling to the man.

You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good, you are only loitering and sluggard.

It is painful for the plant which is myself to live in the atmosphere and light of this world. Somewhere an element is lacking which would permit me to continue.

What is happiness? What is a good life? Is it a life without suffering? Something like that doesn't exist... Life is filled with suffering and sorrow. So it's no wonder that to those who fear suffering, the world seems like a living hell! And still...those who bravely keep going and try to push through this hell... They'll find that it's only a small stretch of the road to happiness. The truly great are those who never lose hope, even when thrown into hell... And as long as we have faith in ourselves, even hell itself can be a paradise!

You know kid_it__ not that every adult stops dreaming because they want to_it__ because_once we grow up, we realize that the world__ like the big bad wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood_it stinks big time and is ever-ready to gobble up any stragglers. It__ this race we sign up for from the moment we are born_if we lose, we get thrown out pretty bad.

Some of the most beautiful things we have in life comes from our mistakes.

After all that I'd been through, after all that I'd learned and all that I'd been given, I was going to do what I had been doing every day for the last few years now: just show up and do the best that I could do with whatever lay in front of me.

Among leaders who have made the greatest impact through ages, I would consider Muhammad before Jesus Christ.

It__ very difficult to follow our dreams, but it__ even more difficult to forget them.

I learned that I was never alone, that there was Someone always very close by and, indeed, within me, giving me strength in times of weakness and desolation, light in times of darkness, joy in times of great sorrow and pain, and the will to struggle on when continuing seemed futile.

Meet struggle and master it, says nature, and you shall have strength and wisdom sufficient for all your needs.

To those who struggle comes strength.

Strength, both physical and spiritual, is the product of struggle!

We can only discover our true strength through struggle. Don__ give up. Find out what you__e made of.
