Rise Above With Love

 

When life goes wrong,

Don’t dwell on the wrong too long.
There’s a lesson in the storm—
Learn it, grow, and move on.

Stay focused on your goals—
Life is too short.
Be the change...
Share the love you’ll earn.

When times are rough,
Remember the times you were tough.
You’re a fighter—never give up.
You can start over.
You are enough.
You are strong—a conqueror.
Don’t forget the criteria you are made from.
Embrace it.
Rise above—with love.
