"They tried to bury me, but they didn't know I was a seed."

 Having a long-term view of how you're going to grow and change is healthy.  Focusing on how you're feeling day-to-day can be like a rollercoaster.  It's like keeping your eyes on the horizon and not obsessing about every step.

I interviewed and surveyed 300 people about how they overcame bullying and shaming.  This was one of the quotes this young woman used to remind herself to think toward the future and to not get hung up on today's feelings. 

What's bussing about it is that it looks in the future, but it also points to how what's happening today (getting tromped on in the direct) is going to serve her and make her more amazing in the future.
