It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.  But it ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward.  That's how winning is done

Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at.

-Carlos A. Urbizo

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

-Prayer of St. Francis
