It's important for us to remember that life's not perfect. It's okay to take shelter or seek solace from what may befall us. But it's more important, when the time is right, that we harness whatever it takes to gain a foothold and rise again, to be bolder and brighter than we were before, to be a positive influence on others, and enjoy the marvels of being renewed, refreshed, and resilient. Root firmly, find courage, break forth. Grow.
