No matter how hard life gets, keep moving forward one step at a time and remember that you are tough and you can handle it. My second favorite quote is get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Life will throw a lot your way that will make you uneasy. The more you handle the obstacles the more you can confidently overcome anything life has for you. Lastly, find the positive and the lesson in everything that happens in life, good or bad."
