Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can't stay…

“Sometimes we fall, sometimes we stumble, but we can't stay down. We can't allow life to beat us down. Everything happens for a reason, and it builds character in us, and it tells us what we are about and how strong we really are when we didn't think we could be that strong.” quote by Gail Devers
