We all have obstacles. The feeling of satisfaction comes by overcoming something.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.

A man who can't learn to roll with the punches will forever be living on edge. A man that can roll with the punches can understand that all overcoming obstacles needs to be is just another adventure.

Those who don't know how to suffer are the worst off. There are times when the only correct thing we can do is to bear out troubles until a better day.

I would like to be able to say that I came back from this by just simply getting up from the sofa and rolling up my sleeves… but I didn’t. I could not even take things days by day. In realistic terms I fought to make it through the day - 5 minutes at a time.

I am more than my scars.
