PERSEVERANCE

DEDICATION

Fear grows out of the things we think; it lives in our minds. Compassion grows out of the things we are, and lives in our hearts. #<Author:0x00007f16ad9bc998>

COMPASSION

What I admire in Columbus is not his having discovered a world, but his having gone to search for it on the faith of his own opinion. #<Author:0x00007f16ada15840>

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. #<Author:0x00007f16ad9fe118>

RESILIENCE

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love…it is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. #<Author:0x00007f16ada549c8>
