0:00Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for opposing South Africa's apartheid government. He was labeled as a domestic terrorist in 1994. Mandela became South Africa's first black president. In his autobiography Mandela said, prison didn't break me, confinement strengthened his resolve. Life is going to throw us some real shit our way. In those moments we have a choice. We can use them to grow us or they can destroy us. Resilience is built during the dark times. Not when things are easy. We find our inner strength when we are tested. All of life is really an unknown. We think we know how each day will turn out. And most of the time we're right. Then something unexpected happens. When this happens I encourage you to face it. Face it until you make it. Ask for guidance from above and hold on to hope. And remember, you have made it through every dark moment you have faced in the past. Keep going no matter what. And that is something to consider.
