Without darkness there would be no light. Without sadness there would be no joy. Without the low times, you wouldn’t feel the high ones.

In order to live a full life, you can’t experience just happiness, you must go through life events and situations that will make you appreciate that happiness.

The truth is that your struggles are not against you, they are FOR YOU.

They present themselves to give you an opportunity to prove yourself, to strengthen yourself and to figure out your true grit (Thanks, John Wayne).

Sometimes you just have to stay strong through the winters + have faith that spring will come again.
