Quotes:
“When you're knocked down, you're left with two choices - stay there or get up. And people asked me, ‘How did you overcome the loss?’ My answer - I got up. No matter what life throws at you, you get up. Even if you need help, you get up.”
“Even though it may seem like it's too hard to get up, try again, I promise you can. It is worth one more try.”
“It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward.”
“Mistakes or a fall or a pause or a failing doesn't need to define you. You are able to mount up with wings of eagles and rise to the person you can and should become.”
“There's great power in a new paradigm.”
“I promise, the moment you reach out to the right person for help, you will begin to see a way out of your situation.”
