"History hinges upon seemingly small and simple souls." - Seth Adam Smith
In my quiet reflections, I have come to realize that the whole of history has truly hinged upon the shoulders of the small and simple. Everyone has a story. Everyone. It seems to me that the people who have accomplished the greatest good in this world are those that have done it by overcoming TREMENDOUS odds.
Think about it. When was the last time you looked up to someone who had it easy? What encouraging stories have you told to others that did not feature someone having to face something difficult? I truly believe that small and simple people are made mighty and strong people when faced with opposition.
Yes, there is evil out there...but pain and heartache are secret blessings. Everything that is given to us in life is either a blessing or a curse. It is the strength of one's heart that determines which. The men and women featured in this video are those that have taken the difficult circumstances given to them and have made them (and themselves) into something more.
I hope that you enjoy the second part to "Small and Simple Souls."
