Time is your acquaintance. Life is your friend. Death is your opponent. Eternity is your companion.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
When people try to bury you, remind yourself you are a seed.
When people try to pull you down, remember, they had to look up to do so.
The strong overcome their opponents, the mighty crush them, the shrewd outwit them, the cowardly hide from them, but the enlightened transcend them.
You were given the problems you have because you can solve them.You were given the burdens you have because you can carry them.You were given the trials you have because you can overcome them.You were given the opponents you have because you can beat them.You were given the enemies you have because you can conquer them.
Your opponents do not want you to persevere,they are afraid you will succeed.Your allies want you to persevere,they will benefit from your success.
