It's funny how the simplest sentence can help you through the most difficult times. Whenever I felt like my world was falling apart, my mother would say, "You are stronger than you think you are." At first, it sounded so cliche, but it helped.

My life has been filled with ups and downs. Sometimes the downs were no one's fault but my own, a product of my own abnormal mind. Whenever I face something that tears me apart and rips me up inside, I can remind myself that I am stronger than I think - that even when everything seems bleak and hopeless, I am strong and capable and I will get through it.

This one little sentence made a world of difference. I don't think anything ever seemed impossible after that. I teach my stepdaughter the same thing my mother taught me. Women like myself, Val and many of the neighbors here live it everyday by being strong and confident.

To all of the ladies here on ValSecrets, if you don't already know it, you're that strong, too. Strength is within each of us to achieve our goals, reach the impossible and make things happen for ourselves. Once we realize we are strong enough to face rejection, heartbreak and loss; we can begin to understand that the consequence of not shooting for the stars is the only thing we truly have to fear.
