Quotes by Gregory S. Williams

“On the other side of a storm is the strength that comes from having navigated through it. Raise your sail and begin.”

“There is an elegance in bravely facing the challenges that life offers head on. Seeing the onslaught of arrows and storms, but still pushing forward, the wind and rain pelting against your face, fear and doubt seeping in your heart but leaning into it anyway. Feeling fearful but determined to take another courageous step forward into the unknown.”

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be moving.”
