There are times in your life when you are confronted with difficulties when nothing appears to be going right when tragedy strikes, and you are left to pick up the pieces.
In other circumstances, being strong simply entails the ability to persevere in the face of hardship. It could be something dreadful, such as the death of a family member, or something unpleasant and hard, such as being laid off. Emotional trauma, such as the aftermath of a divorce or a difficult breakup, can also be a factor.
We are left feeling weak and despondent as a result of these events. But that isn’t a good reason to stay in bed for too long. Whatever you’re going through in life, other people have gone through similar or worse experiences and emerged stronger on the other side. It is at moments like these that you must be courageous and never give up.
Here are some strong quotes that inspire you to find your own inner strength in the face of adversity:
