Resilience in Haiti

A recent story reminded me that even when you may think you have it bad (i.e. see snow outside), it is never really that bad. True resilience and perseverance comes from within, you can either sit there and take it and worry/complain about it—or you can make the effort to create from limitations. Inspiration is all around, it is only a matter of seeing it. Here is where one might normally insert an 'inspirational poster' but instead I found these documentary images from both the quake in Haiti (a year ago nearly this date exactly), and resilient groups of amputees who arose from that horrific event. Per the news article:

"The teams train on a dusty pitch near Cite Soleil, Haiti's largest slum on the outskirts of the wrecked capital Port-au-Prince. They were to face off again on Monday in the National Stadium as part of a low-key yet poignant commemoration of the disaster that killed around a quarter of a million people."

Images from directly after the quake and from the football (soccer) games this past weekend.
