I’ve been going through rather a rough time lately: maybe it’s the weather, the time of year or dealing with personal issues. Whatever the cause, it’s been a struggle. I’ve had difficult periods in my life before, and I’ve been around the block enough times to know that this won’t be the last time, either.
But I also know that I’ll come out the other side of it, wiser and stronger than before.
It’s in that spirit, therefore, that I bring you this week’s Wednesday Affirmation, from none other than Helen Keller:
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
— Helen Keller
