A quote

"The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun." - Napoleon Hill

This quote was shared by my sister...she told me that it reminded her of me...I don't think I'm that strong but, do believe the people that are put around me at certain times are the exact people I need to be there at that moment. The person may not even have to be there in a physical sense.  It's through these connections that I gather my strength.
