“One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.”
–Albert Schweitzer
As one may become stronger by practicing optimism, the same may be said about successfully dealing with ill fortune. When I lost my vocal cords several years ago and had to live for six months without a voice at all before getting a prosthesis, I made up my mind to become a motivational speaker some day. My voice is evident in my writing and last night I gave a successful reading for the Rome Area Writers organization.
What a good feeling that was! Push on and overcome. While you’re at it, share a smile.
Everything is going to be all right.
