“Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. ~ Muhammad Ali

We don't have to be a prize fighter, an Olympic gymnast, or an athlete in any way, shape or form
to appreciate the take-away here.

There really is value in every falling and every failure.

When what feels like a trial or a defeat allows us to become familiar with the depths of our souls,
we discover something precious: there is power beyond what we thought was our furthest reach.

There is great strength in the depths of your soul. Believe it. It is always ready for you to access.

Believing,
Charlene
