Out of the fire...

I just saw this on a Facebook page that I follow and I wanted to share it here. I want to tape this one all over my walls. Anyone who has been through "the fire" should.

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...”
