There will be times in your life where you’re challenged, where nothing seems to be going
right, where tragedy strikes and you’re left to pick up the pieces.
In some cases, being strong is simply about being able to persevere through extreme adversity. It can be something horrific like the tragic loss of a loved one, or something difficult and trying like getting laid off. It can also be emotional trauma, like recovering from a divorce or a tough break up.
These experiences leave us feeling weak and hopeless. But that’s no reason to stay down for long. No matter what you’re going through in life, other people just like you have gone through the same or worse and come out stronger on the other side. It’s times like these you need to be strong and never give up.
Here are some quotes about being strong to help you find your own strength in the face of adversity:

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”– Louise Erdrich

“A heart is a muscle..and what do muscles do when they are torn? They grow back STRONGER!”– Unknown
