15 People Who Turned Their Lowlight Into Highlights

Sometimes life delivers significant obstacles, and it can become hard to manage when we take it over seriously. Having resilience, while also being light-hearted and having a sense of humor, are sometimes all it takes to cope and recover from the challenges we encounter. After all, “A light heart lives long” and we only get one free supply of our life.

At votreART, we cherish resilient people. Thus, we decided to bring together a bunch of people who remained calm in the face of disasters, took themselves lightly while also using their smart brains to plan.
