Gem

Just as a gem cannot be polished without friction;
nor can a life be improved without trials.
We are what we allow life to make of us.
You can fall trampled beneath the mounds of madness;
or you can rise up, enlightened, stronger, more brilliant.
You can be minimized by each defeat;
or you can become more resilient, smarter, wiser.
You can allow the small and trivial to shake your foundation;
or you can stand firm in the knowledge that your integrity is solid.

Go, be that polished gem.
You are that polished gem.
