Living beyond adversity
Adversity means different things to different people and it
depends on what their experience was and the attitude they have about it. In the beginning when life was out of control, it meant something
like this: It shows up uninvited. After working through its challenges, life became something like
this. It helped you to become a better person. It made you achieve more than you ever thought you could.
It gave you wisdom and now you soar beyond the clouds (awesome feeling
within). And know you live your life beyond adversity;
because now you’re in the best place you can be for yourself emotionally… now you’re
living beyond adversity.
It took control.
It changed your life in ways you didn't want too.
It took what you wanted away from you.
It forced you into situations you didn’t want to be in.
It stopped you from doing what you wanted to do.
It's was ruthless and cruel.
It's was unfair.
It made your relationships deeper and more meaningful.
It showed you what was most important in life.
It helped you become more compassionate and understanding.
It made you appreciate life much more.
It leads to the discovery of true joy, in life.

Look Well to This Day:
Look well to this day,
for it and it alone is life.
In its brief course
Lie all the essence of your existence:
The Glory of Growth
The Satisfaction of Achievement
The Splendor of Beauty
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is but a vision.
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
From Ms. Arlene R. Crenshaw
To all...Stay Blessed!!!
Wisdom in Simple Words:
CourageI believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do.
Character
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.
Decision Making
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
Character
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
Destiny
The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.
Attitude
We must want for others, not ourselves alone.
Beginning
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Courage
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
Action
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
These are words I feel strongly on and I hope a lot of women find their strength with these words also and what they stand for.
