We can endure almost anything if we are centered, if we have some focus in our life. You can endure if you have an anchor.

Our deepest, most painful wounds not only leave us with scars that we bear forever, but also, if we make our peace with them, leave us wiser, stronger, more sensitive than we otherwise would have been had we not been afflicted with them.
