Description Inspired by people I know who have been through hard things - are going through hard things - and in all likelihood will continue to go through hard things.

What makes a phoenix, is that they rise from the ashes; but never only once. You may have gotten through something, risen out of it, and hoped that whew, it was over, thank goodness...only for something else to come up. And it happens again, and again, and again. And you keep standing up again. Sometimes it may feel like too much, to keep standing up when you get beaten down.

But every time a phoenix gets back up, it is reborn and it is stronger and more of a phoenix. If you choose to stay down when it's all too much, then that's okay, I understand. It's your choice. But...if you choose to stand back up...then you'll get to be a phoenix. And it's the phoenixes of this world that truly blaze bright.

Either way, I believe in you. And I always will.

This is a fantastic, uplifting message. It's exactly right, and I needed to hear that.

really nice message, similar meaning to theΒ Japanese proverb "sevent times down, eight times up."

Now this is something I can relate to, given my health over time. I suppose this is why I try to have a positive attitude. Motivational words and picture indeed.

That's true for many people, many of my friends especially.
It's funny... I'm pretty introverted and have a hard time sypathizing with others, but whenever my friends have problems, I tend to be the one they come to. Or, more accurately, I come to them and refuse to leave until they're no longer at the brink of whatever t happens to be

Is there such a thing as pheonixes who help others get their wings or help clear away the ashes? Because if so that's what I want to be.
