{"quotes":[{"text":"Any meaning of life derives from amiably accepting our anonymous role in the singular order of the universe. Such gracious reception of life’s turbulences stems from willingly capitulating to whatever fomented experiences life brings us without harboring a disconsolate degree of remorse or regret.","author":"Kilroy J.

Ease of life leads to complacency and the atrophy of the human will and spirit. Within our struggles lives our strength, within our trials lives our triumphs. Friction creates a platform for change, generates heat and or fervor and creates a motivational charge that gives us an opportunity to be better. A gem cannot be polished without friction and so neither a person without hardships. Friction within and friction without sharpens our senses and revives our internal resolutions. Friction is uncomfortable, hardships are distressing but both are necessary. We cannot light a match without friction nor can we hone steal. Uncomfortable as it may be, our adversity ultimately lights a fire and sharpens our very will to flourish. Today, let us not be discouraged, let us not be bitter in our suffering rather let us be encouraged as we look to our trials as a medium that will eventually make us better.","author":"Jason Versey","tags":["adversity","hardships","hardships-perspective","trials","trials-of-life"],"id":193168,"author_id":"Jason+Versey"},{"text":"People stagger, but they pick up a tattered thread and wind it back onto a spool.","author":"Donia Bijan","tags":["hardships-perspective","healing-the-past","persistence","survivors"],"id":409407,"author_id":"Donia+Bijan"},{"text":"Have you considered that some of your greatest heartaches and hardships might actually be the best things that ever happened to you in the long run?","author":"Tim Hiller","tags":["best","faith","hardship","hardship-overcome","hardships-perspective"],"id":460437,"author_id":"Tim+Hiller"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":5,"pages":1}}
