Tough as Iron

Girls, the world can be a very harsh place. Sometimes it is going to feel like life won't stop kicking and stomping you. Life will try to kick you down and do all it can to keep you down. Life is going to see how much you can take before you stop getting back up girls.

If there is anything I can hopefully pass along to you as you discover some of these harsh realities, it is this..you need to be as tough as iron. You need to be ready to handle all the hardest moments life will inevitably throw at you because life doesn't listen to excuses. Life doesn't care if you are at your best and it certainly is not interested in playing fairly.

I caution you both to be mindful however. As tough as you will have to be in order to take those hits, don't lose your compassion, your love, your laughter, your curiosity, or your passion. Those are the qualities that make you who you are, make you so special, and make you such an important part of this world. Be as tough as iron only to protect those qualities and guard yourself when life is at its most difficult.
