Good morning everyone,

We haven't, as far as I can recall, yet heard from Mahatma Gandhi, and, given his status as a peacemaker and humble man, I think it's maybe time to hear something that he said.

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength".

That's very relevant to our lives now. We can decide to be strong and not to surrender, no matter how hard our lives seem to be at the moment.

And I'm seeing so many people here on the Positive Wellbeing forum who have made that choice to fight. And we are all helping each other to refuse to surrender and to gain in strength. A shout out to all of you today!

Have a happy day everyone.

I try to read a few inspirational quotes every day

I have one quoted by Gandhi :

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others “

Pretty much sums up how many on this website help and support one another

Also William Churchill would say the the virus

We shall never surrender

in reply toRoukaya

Hi Roukaya, I too was thinking about Winston Churchill's "We shall never surrender" whilst I was typing up the quotation for today. In my head I could hear him saying it, really clearly. We didn't give in then, and we won't give in now! 😊

Agree, completely

That is a very good post Hidden and so very true. We cannot give up and it'll make us so much stronger if we keep going. Life is a challenge and it's the challenges that make us who we are.

Thank you :)

good evening Callendersgal Mahatma Ghandi is an amazing person

Hi Sara_2611, I completely agree. I think he's probably near the top of most people's list of inspirational people.

Yes, Jerry, I'm finding the same thing with new meanings too!
