Life work Quote by Kimberly Giles
““When a baby chick hatches, it often struggles for a long, long time, and you can get impatient watching the little guy struggle. You might be tempted to help him out and break a little bit of the shell away and make it easier for him to escape, but if you do, he will die. You will rob him of a process specifically designed to make him strong. It is only through this struggle that he can gain the strength to survive his life. It is crucial (if you love him) that you let him struggle his way out of this challenge on his own. Your life works the same way. The challenges you currently face are there to help you become stronger and smarter too. They are probably forcing you to learn and grow. If you were rescued from this situation, it might rob you of a process you need to become the person you are meant to be.””

We are still human, not dust, like millions of others, and we will continue to be, no matter what adversity we face.” quote by Liv-Christine Hoem](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0fd/liv-christine-hoem-58180_historical-fiction_that-is-why-we-are-here-today-because-we_922554.jpg)
