The Single Woman’s Dash of Sass: July 11, 2011

Quote of the Day:

“Certainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.” ~Joel Osteen

The Single Woman Says:

Maybe you just had the worst weekend of your life. Maybe you’re feeling sad and low and like you’ve been beat up by the world and everyone in it. Maybe you think the fight to be who you are isn’t worth the hits you’ve taken along the way. I’m here to tell you that the very battle you are waging right now is setting you up for the biggest victory of your life – if you don’t give up.

If the caterpillar gave up the struggle to free himself of his cocoon…there’d be no butterflies. If the oyster tossed that painful grain of sand out on its ear the minute is started to hurt…there’d be no pearls. Throughout nature, throughout mankind, throughout history, time and time again, we see born from great pain even greater beauty. So keep going…keep fighting…keep pressing in…and soon you will see: It is in the struggle that we become who we’re meant to be.
