You learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of hope.

Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration are ready to be harvested.

My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.
