Sometimes, life just deals us with the worst cards. You could be working at your dream job one moment, but after a recession, you could be at the receiving end of a pink slip. You could be all set to be an entrepreneur, but then your business flops and you lose all your life savings. When life knocks you down, sometimes it can be really hard to pick yourself back up. But don’t lose hope because things will always turn out for the better – if not today, then maybe tomorrow. Take your cue from these amazing women who proved that they are bigger than any challenge life throws at them.
