“Life is about trying, about making a move.” - Michal Oshman

As we journey through the vicissitudes of life, we are faced with myriad challenges which help us to build our resilience towards continuing the journey in a healthy way. Sometimes though, we come to a circumstance where we say: “This is too much. I cannot do it. It is simply too challenging.” It takes a hero, a brave soul, to say: “No matter the height, the mountain - we will climb.” It takes a hero to take on the challenge and scale the mountain. 

When I was in high school, one of my teachers had a motto, which I had utterly despised - “I can’t is not said here.”  While it may have been annoying at first, it taught me that when faced with a challenge, it may be popular to say I can’t, but you will only succeed when you say I can.
