20.11 Lift Your Head

Your burdens can break you — or crown you. Every weight you carry is shaping you into the ruler of your own life. “The heavier the trial, the higher the crown it forges.” When you bear it with courage, with dignity, and without surrender, you are building the strength to lead, the wisdom to guide, and the presence to inspire. Do not curse the weight — transform it. Lift your head, square your shoulders, and wear your trials like a crown. Nobility is forged under weight — and you were born to wear it.
