We don’t even know how strong we are
until we are forced to bring
that hidden strength forward.
In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity,
people do amazing things.
The human capacity for survival
that hidden strength forward.
In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity,
people do amazing things.
The human capacity for survival
and renewal is amazing.
--Isabel Allende
O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger [people]! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks! Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.
