“every obstacle is an opportunity”, says lance armstrong in his book. i guess he is right. what would life be without obstacles we have to overcome. they are opportunities to learn something about ourselves. i always remind myself that everything is going to be just fine in the end. hope is really a wonderful concept. “You’ve been through a lot of pain in the dirt / And I know you’ve got the scars to prove it” ?
