Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.
Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that’s me.
If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.
And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything.
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
There is no gain without struggle.
Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.
That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.
