No mud no lotus

A saying that can be traced back to Buddhism. Basically it means that of course, there will be bad things in life that will cause you to suffer. It'll bring pain to you. However with this "mud" you eventually get stronger and grow as a result thus forming you into a beautiful "lotus". Just remember life gets better eventually but it takes time and effort.

Joel: Life just isn't good man. The past year has brought me nothing but depression, anxiety, and despair. It's an endless roller coaster and I want out so bad.

Ryan: No mud no lotus.
