And check out the awesome girl who posted it to begin with:
Amandita Sullivan
I don't know her and I've never met her, but I follow her on Facebook and she inspires me daily.
I can't take credit for the quote, but I found an awesome image to go with it :)
“I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path.
I define myself by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads.
I do not define myself by how many disappointments I’ve faced.
I define myself by the forgiveness and faith I have found to begin again.
I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted.
I define myself by how much I have loved, and have been willing to love again.
I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down.
I define myself by how many times I have struggled to my feet.
I am not my pain.
I am not my past.
I am that which has emerged from the fire...”
