The thorny path to greatness is better than the rosy path to mediocrity.
Life is difficult and those who make us laugh are angels.
Only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro.
Be like stars; when darkness tries to stop you from shining, shine all the more.
Learn from roses; even when trampled they give off perfume, not despair.
Champions are made in the dark before they are revealed in light.
If the wind brushes against you, do not complain; it brushes against everyone.
When the storm runs out of breath, a rainbow is born.
Learn from the ocean; not fearing turbulence, it uses the wind against it to rise instead.
A star never lets anything dull its sparkle, not even darkness.
If the sky had no tears, the world would have no rainbows.
Pain is the seasoning that gives pleasure its flavor.
The calmest part of the storm is not in its eye, but in your own soul.
Open your umbrella of creativity when glaring heat of adversity hits you unaware." ~ Angelica Hopes, If I Could Tell You
In our deepest valleys we are strengthened to climb our highest mountains.
Use the dirt life throws at you to plant the seeds of your success.
As inside of every seed is the power to rise from darkness, inside of everyone is the power to rise from adversity.
Every struggle you overcome, will build the strength of your spirit.
A diamond is just a rock that refused to break under heat and pressure.
A flower can only grow through concrete if it believes in itself, not its obstacles.
