Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
....
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
....
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
....
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Hello World,
The poem I've quoted above is a famous work of William Ernest Henley, he was physically disabled. He wrote this poem from his hospital bed. Just realize how strong his emotions were to overcome any hurdle in his way.
Be strong, Be inspired, And fight for the cause whatever may it be.
Take Care.
