Frida Kahlo

If you have not read the biography of Frida Kahlo, it is one which will inspire you. She lived most of her life in chronic pain. She endured unbelievable physical, mental and emotional pain. Many of her paintings and sketches were completed while she was in her hospital bed. Of her approximate 200 paintings, drawings and sketches, 55 are self-portraits. She became a Feminist hero by living by her own rules and was viewed as an icon of female creativity.

Frida Kahlo said:

"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can."

What she said about pain and enduring is both true and enlightening. We will have good days but also stressful ones, and we can endure much more than we think we can. We're strong more than we can imagine. Whenever you forget about this, go back to Kahlo's quote and know that tomorrow is a bright, new day.

I hope you have a chance to read about Frida Kahlo. I know you will feel moved and encouraged by her story.
