"You have the power to change your life!
No matter what you have been through,
you can always bounce back.
No matter how hard the battle, you can
fight your way back and win.
No matter how low your circumstances,
you can change for the better.
No matter how shallow you may feel, you
can always dig deep for true knowledge
of self." -- Imakhu Mwt Shekemet
