“One day, the lotus spoke again. "You remember me? The flower that grows through the mud?" I did. I said as much. "Have you ever considered my significance? I'm everywhere - art, religion, nature.... Have you ever wondered why?"
... It spoke, "Nothing touches me. I radiate beauty. You can do the same."
"How?" I asked.
"Easy," it said. "I grow in a pond. I take the water and nutrients I need to grow, and let the rest sink to the bottom. What's in mud, anyway? Water, nutrients, life and a little bit of sludge. Let the sludge go like I do. Then stand tall above the leaves.”

For giving me the courage to stand up each time I fall,
For giving me downs to make me appreciate the ups,
For helping me to even in dark times, stand tall.”

“I cannot tell you how many people during that time told me: 'I’m so sorry this happened to you—but I am so glad that it was you who it happened to.'
I can't help but think that they're right.
I have been through a lot in my life, and if nothing else, it has made me strong. I wouldn't have wished it on the team for anything. If could go back right now and steal those words out of his mouth, I would do it. But as I have spent a career telling the young women in my care, all you can do is focus on the things you control, and what we controlled in this instance was our response.”
