Bootstraps Quote by Tullian Tchividjian

“You are not obligated to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and find a way to conquer the odds, to be stronger or transform yourself into some better version of yourself. The pain you are feeling (whatever the degree) may be a reminder that things are not as they should be.” quote by Tullian Tchividjian — Download Open image
