This is not mine. I read this and had to share!!!
For you to even exist right now two parents four grandparents eight great grandparents and if you go back just ten generations over 4000 people had to endure life for you to be here. People who lived through war, hunger, disease, revolution, entire systems rising and collapsing, they faced things we only read in history books and they still kept going. They sacrificed not knowing your name. But knowing there future family would have a better shot and now we call things hard that they would have labeled a relief. You are the result of generations that refused to break. You are the moment they were building towards. You’re living the life that they only dreamed that someone in there blood line would reach so don’t shrink don’t quit don’t waste the strength you inherited. Stand up push forward and build something that they would be proud of because you’re carrying the power of thousands that never gave up.
