en·dur·ance
the ability to withstand hardship, adversity or something challenging despite, fatigue, stress or adverse conditions
It is said the greatest strength is the spirit of endurance... overcoming challenges and learning to live where you are most afraid takes courage. Every time I reflect on my past, share my story and the fact I’m still standing here in this moment with you, I am reminded of the endurance I possess. It never seems possible until you get to the other side, but getting there requires going through, and going through may take everything you have, you are your own example of endurance!
Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.
