“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lena Horne

I heard Halle Berry quote Lena Horne on the awards show the other night. I've thought about this ever since. Sometimes I'm so full of fire I feel like I can do anything, other times I can't get out of my own way. This quote just really got to me for some reason, and I just wanted to share it. I definitely need to change the way I carry the load.

    I remember Halle Berry
    I remember Halle Berry quoting this phrase. It carries a lot of power. Thanks for the share. By the way, I was so happy "The Kings Speech" won for best picture! It really was an outstanding movie!

    I haven't seen "The Kings Speech" yet..
    I'll have to catch up some sleepless night! :-) One member of my household only likes blood and action, the other member is Disney. I get to watch all the 'good' stuff when everyone else is in bed and I can have my turn with the tv. :-)

    quote
    It pretty much sums up a lot of life, especially BC. I probably don't always carry this load so well.
