Adversity Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“Some people will put obstacles in their path so they can't move forward. Make a mountain out of a molehill so they can move higher. Many others walk around in darkness with no light, travel in boats with no paddles, and jump from planes with no parachutes in futile attempts to go through the motions on a bridge to nowhere. Truth may hurt, but sometimes the biggest barrier to some moving forward,…is themselves.”
