I think there are times when each of us has been that authentic. I mean, we are all still here right? We all make it through another second, another minute, another hour, another day, another week, another month and another year.

For me, I have found that no matter how difficult a situation has been, how low the depression or anxiety may get me at times, my ability to create change and overcome what is eating at me and most of all, to give of myself to others daily, that has been my saving grace so to speak. So, I relate to this quote very deeply.

Does anyone else see it in themselves as well?

Thanks so much for posting this quote! Your right -- I am still here! and it has been almost a year since I logged in. I also like how you said to think and draw on your inner strengths and move forward. I will have to think long and hard about my inner strengths -- I know I have some -- I just have to figure out what they are.

I also appreciate how the quote says to give of myself to others daily. I have been thinking of how I can accomplish this for I think that giving to others will help me greatly. I do want to help people and would love to take advantage of that.

Thanks for a great quote! I'm going to post it so I can read it daily.
