"And in the end, it won't be how you walked in the sun, but how you handled the storm--that will determine your victory. It won't be about how you ran. It will be about how you fell, and then got back up. It won't be about how you shined in the light. It will be about how you managed the darkness--inside and outside yourself. Because in the end, it won't be about your triumphs. It will be about how you took defeat. It won't be about how you performed when you were strong, but how you did while bound and broken. It won't be about your ability to walk. It will be about your willingness to crawl-even when you're hopeless. It won't be about what you did when you won. But who you were after you lost. Because character isn't made on the shore. Character is born in the waves. The crushing kind. The kind of waves that tell you to give up because there is no point in trying again. the kind of waves that tell you that the ocean is too mighty for you and you don't stand a chance. you see, heroes aren't known by their trophies. They're known by their scars." Yasmine Mogahed.
