Amanda du Pont On Overcoming The Hard Times: “Don’t let your pain destroy you, let it give you power to become stronger.”

When it comes to soldiering on, Amanda du Pont is definitely a pro at that.

The TV personality and actress has been through quite a lot since she started in the industry and well, it looks like her career is only getting better.

As we all know Miss du Pont is quite the fitness junkie and well everyone has their story as to why they keep fit or why the are dedicated to working out.

Taking to Instagram Amanda shares that she often sees a very dedicated young man taking boxing lessons and his determination and religious dedication made her wonder what his story is.

She shares that the young boy recently lost two important figures in his life and instead of throwing in the towel, he found something that has kept him going:  “This kid has lost his father and grandfather in the space of six months…Instead of giving up on life and feeling sorry for himself he is becoming a dedicated boxer and all round fitness freak…in this he has found healing,” she wrote.

She then adds that, “This is a lesson to us as adults. Don’t let your pain destroy you, let it give you power to become stronger. God will only give you a burden you can handle.”
