I was sent this absolutely wonderful quotation yesterday in an email full of interesting quotes from a variety of sources. I thought I’d share this one because I found it so positive and enabling:

The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it. (Anon)

It’s such an affirmative quote for anyone suffering tough times be they financial, emotional, spiritual… whatever. Such difficult times lose their power eventually, leaving you —if you are aware of their transient nature —intact and much stronger because of the knowledge that you’ve passed through them, and so they become character-reinforcing.

The other side of the low is the high. The path out of the valley leads to the mountain top.
