I came across this quote recently and it resonated with me on so many level. I love it for applying in my personal life and in telling the stories of my life and my family and my ancestors. Life isn’t meant to be smooth sailing, even thought we think it is. We learn and grow so much because of the struggles, be they small or monumental. I also love this quote on a visual level too. Great job all around Whitney!

In Whitney’s original post she listed six main points that help her keep a good attitude in the struggle:

• you’ve got to find gratitude
• stop searching for happiness
• have faith, take heart, choose courage
• let it go
• don’t be afraid to hope for better
• hope does not disappoint
