I am always amazed at the strength some people have, and often wonder if I were in the same situation, would I survive? Would I prevail? Would I beat the odds?Would I be an inspiration to others? I began watching a new show on the biography channel, called "I Survived." In each episode, real people re-tell their stories of survival. I am not sure what causes one person to just give up and another in the same exact position to fight. Our personality? Our faith? Our family? Or our lack of will? I pray I am never in a place where I must search for a missing child, wait beside a dying loved one's bedside, trapped and unable to seek help, or faced with a terminal sickness. But if I do, I pray my own will is stronger than I think, and that, along with watching others pull through against impossible odds, I am able to bring myself out of any darkness I may be in. So, when you are down, look to others, strangers even, who have been there, or in a worse place, and tell yourself that you will prevail. You can survive.
