The part of your life that's "appeared" most difficult may be the exact foundation you need 5 years later to allow miracles to oc...

Through the hardship you gain strength.  Through the difficulty you gain resilience.  Through ...

Let it bounce off

In life there will be lovers and there will be haters. It’s a fact.

Expectations

If you live your life trying to live up to other people’s  expectations, you’ll always fall short.

Don't put too much weight on what’s not in your control.  Just do YOUR best in everything you do.

That’s what you CAN control.
