Time for a Heart-to-Heart: Reflections on Life in the Face of Death

This memoir is all about finding hope, inspiration, and strength inside yourself as a result of pain, struggle, and even desperation. I always wonder what everyone else "uses" to overcome hardship and struggle. Something outside of yourself (God, luck, fate, etc.?) or inside (self-belief, determination, positivity, etc.?). Please post your thoughts on this most essential of all life dilemmas!
