“Someone was hurt before you, wronged before you, hungry before you, frightened before you, beaten before you, humiliated before you, raped before you… yet, someone survived… You can do anything you choose to do.” –Maya Angelou

Do not allow your past to intimidate you from moving forward into your future. You are so much stronger than you realize. The fact that you survived and are here today should let you know that you have arrived. All you have to do now is thrive. You are so much stronger today than you were yesterday.

Do not let everything that you have endured be in vain. Everything that you have gone through has brought you closer to your destiny. Go out and do great things and remember to pay it forward.

As always, the choice is yours.
