Finding the courage and strength to emerge.
It takes courage and strength to stand up for one's self and resist the pressure to conform. With each battle won we gain confidence in our abilities to emerge successfully and our sense of self stabilizes.
"Courage is not something that you already have that makes you brave when the tough times start. Courage is what you earn when you’ve been through the tough times and you discover they aren’t so tough after all.”—Malcolm Gladwell
