Flowers have to stretch to bloom.

Your mind is greater than your problems,your heart is greater than your troubles,your soul is greater than your temptations,and your God is greater than your obstacles.

Pain frees you from complacency.Tears free you from sorrow.Weaknesses free you from pride.Adversity frees from boredom.Challenges free you from monotony.

You cannot stop the ocean’s current, but you can swim.

As water downs ships but upholds leaves,and as fires burn cities but refines gold,so do life’s troubles propel the meek to greatnessand the proud to ruin.

When bad things happen to you, become wiser, not bitter.

The desert is harsh, but persevering flowers flourish.

The loveliest flowers sometimes grow in the ugliest places.

Caged birds still sing beautiful symphonies.

Seeds pour out oil when pressed.Grapes pour out wine when squeezed.Herbs pour out medicine when pounded.Flowers pour out perfume when crushed.The gifted pour out excellence when tested.

He who runs from a challenge runs from an opportunity.
