An Invincible Summer

“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”

– Albert Camus

          As you go through hard times in life, you question whether you are strong enough to weather the storm.  You feel broken, beaten and defeated.  Many times you are just so tired that you say, “What’s the point?”  You feel you have nothing left to give and the fight is gone.   But, it is when we are at our lowest that we learn how “invincible” and resilient our spirit truly is.  Often, you don’t realize your inner strength until months or years later when you look back at a really difficult time and say, “Wow, how did I survive that. . .at the time, I never thought I would make it to the next hour, let alone a year.”  But you did.  You survived because inside of you, there is “an invincible summer.”
