When facing adversity, the last thing you usually want to do is recognize that there is a way to get through most everything in life. It takes determination and a deep belief that you can get through it.
The good news is, you don’t have to do it alone. There are those that have dealt with situations similar to yours that can offer support and advice. It’s not easy to accept help and support, yet it can be vital to moving on.

Post some of these quotes on your computer, your wall — wherever you will see them often, for as long as you need the extra motivation.
