Today, actress and movie producer, Toyin Abraham gives us inspirational words to keep us going.

In a lengthy post on her Instagram page on Thursday, she admonished her followers not to allow what they are going through now make them hate life.

According to the 34-year-old, even she has scars that have healed. “This is what makes us a living soul,” she said.

Here’s the full post: “I have scars that have healed, as NO ONE CAN LIVE WITH A CRYSTAL CLEAR HEART! This is what makes us a living soul. Don’t give up on yourself… Hard times are often blessings in disguise. So, let go and let life strengthen you. No matter how much it hurts, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP and keep going. This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a rough day, a bad month/year, or a crappy relationship. All these shouldn’t make you think you have a bad life.

“What you’re going through now that make you hate your life, someone somewhere is going through more/worse but still has hopes for the future. It all depends on how you let your challenges define you. Either you let it make you or break you.

“Yes…Life is tough! But you have to be tougher! Don’t just sit there and blame people for your circumstance. It’s so easy to give up but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength! We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside us that emerges when life put us to the test. Use your struggles as an opportunity to stumble on your strength.

“You are not alone. Everybody has a chapter in their life they don’t read aloud! Sometimes, the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your spirit needs most. Let your passion burn brighter than your fear and be very prayerful. In the end, the peace you will have will be worth more than everything you’ve lost.

“So, take all the crazy experiences and lessons and place them in a box labelled “THANK YOU”. Get up now and rise on your feet with positive energy; take a deep breath; straighten your arms; straighten your legs; now tell yourself I’M UNSTOPPABLE and start going. The world is waiting for you.”
