Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend!
Life doesn't always go according to plan. Some days, the smallest things feel like a massive struggle. For me, this past week was a prime example. The humidity has been stuck between 93-95%, and the cooler temperatures have wreaked havoc on my legs, leaving me in so much pain that I could barely do anything. I've been unable to focus, constantly squirming from the aching and throbbing, and not sleeping well, which only makes me more tired during the day. I've felt completely upside down.
So, what do you do when the pain is overwhelming and you have no energy left before the day even begins? You draw on the strength you have left—however small it might feel. Somehow, I always manage to find some, and I know you can, too. We do our best to get through the day, to practice self-care, and to do whatever we can to not let the pain win.
When you're in the thick of it, it's easy to feel alone, but remember that many have walked a similar path. To help you find that spark of resilience, I've gathered 13 powerful quotes on living through hard times and finding the strength to carry on. I hope they offer you a little comfort and the motivation to keep going, one day at a time.
