“If things are tough, remember that every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there. The almighty Father will use life's reverses to move you forward.

Regret will not prevent tomorrow's sorrows; it will only rob today of its strength.”

If we look deeply enough, we might see how these experiences as situations that motivate us to grow and change for the better.”

“Most very successful people can remember that their success was discovered and built out of adversity of some kind.
