“Regardless of what challenge you are facing right now, know that it has not come to stay. It has come to pass. During these times, do what you can with what you have, and ask for help if needed. Most importantly, never surrender… Find ways to replenish your energy, strengthen your faith and fortify yourself from the inside out.” —Les Brown
