When Cancer Smacks You Down… Get Back Up.

 

When my dad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, my entire life changed practically overnight. These inspirational quotes about strength in hard times pulled me through some of the most challenging moments of my life.

I know how exhausting it is to be a caregiver.  No matter how strong you are and how much fire you have, cancer just drains you.

It’s like one obstacle after another.  

It’s hard to stay motivated when you you’re mentally and physically exhausted plus you’re dealing with so much stress.  It feels like you keep getting kicked down to the ground over and over again.

It’s overwhelming and frustrating.  It feels like you’re fighting a battle you just can’t win.

But you are going to win.

I know you’re exhausted, and terrified, and fighting another obstacle sounds about as much fun as jumping in a vat of toxic waste.

You can do this.  

This is when it counts.  When the effort and the energy you find within yourself makes the biggest diffrence.

These inspirational quotes about strength in hard times are meant to give you fire and keep youstrong  when you feel like you can barely take another step. 

These are the quotes that will pull you through the darkest and most challenging times of your journey.  They remind you how strong you are when everything sucks and the world is falling down around you.

They give you encouragement.  When you need it the most.
