Life has a way of testing you right after you decide to rise. The moment you make up your mind to change, everything around you begins to shake — not to destroy you, but to test the foundation of who you’re becoming. To be unshakable doesn’t mean you never fall apart; it means that even when life hits you, you know how to rebuild.

The truth is, strength isn’t built in comfort. It’s born in storms that no one else can see. Every challenge is a mirror showing you parts of yourself that still need growth. The world will try to knock you off balance through rejection, failure, disappointment, and delay but each time you get back up, you become harder to break.
