“If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces.” - Shane Koyczan

Accepting your new reality, even if it's not as favorable as your previous one, is what resilience is all about. You have two options, you can either fight it, or you do nothing but whine about what you've lost. But between these black and white, there’s this beautiful gray where you can embrace it and make an effort to create something positive together. The human spirit's capacity for resilience is truly amazing, don’t you think. We return to the fundamentals of hope and delight as soon as any obstruction is eliminated, even if it means battling death.

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. It’s your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life’s story will develop. My only success, no matter how many times I fall down I will always get back up again.
