“And still, like dust, I’ll rise.”

1–2 minutes

Absolutely. One quote I return to often—especially in moments when I need clarity, courage, or recalibration—is this:

“And still, like dust, I’ll rise.” — Maya Angelou

There’s something invincible in those words. It reminds me that no matter how many times life knocks the wind out of you, there’s a divine rhythm that keeps your soul pushing upward—gritty, graceful, and relentless. It’s not about perfection or never falling… it’s about rising again and again with dignity, fire, and that quiet, sacred audacity.
