Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
During troubled times it is how we cope that makes a difference, learning from bitter experience that we grow stronger, and much more resilient the result of our trials teaching us how best to triumph over any thought of surrendering to our fear of failing to persevere.
Facing difficulties is inevitable, learning from them is optional – John Maxwell
Resistance training is the foundation of an athlete's commitment to developing their skills, towards realising their aspiration to become all that their efforts will reward them. Even in those events when their greatest effort appeared to fail them by placing them in last place, it is their determination to keep on trying to succeed that rewards them with the strength to celebrate participating in the race.
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.” – Genesis 9:12-15
