“Strength does not come from physical capacity. 
It comes from an indomitable will” 
(Mahatma Gandhi) 
A global pandemic can affect our mental and physical health – and that’s without even catching the virus! It reminds us that strength is an exercise of the mind, not just the body.
By staying positive and refusing to give up, despite the challenges that come our way, our inner strength will endure.

“It may be stormy now, but rain doesn’t last forever.”
