True Strength

True strength is not about physical qualities but about our ability to not give up when the battle seems to be over. Two of the strongest women I have ever known have been my Mom and my wife. Their feats of strength are not measured by how much they can lift but by their persistance to not give up when life has seemed to have dragged them to their deepest and darkest places. I have always looked up to these to woman and have admired what they have been able to accomplish. They both have fought through depression and have become stronger because of it. My Mom survived losing both her son and husband in less than two years. My wife has fought through losing almost all of her material things and was on the verge of becoming homeless. The ability to not give up can't be measured by some scientific equation but by shere determination. You have to find that reason to tie a knot when you reach the end of your rope. For both of these women, it was their kids that kept them hanging on and the to courage to fight back. Find that reason in your life, find your determination, and find your inner fighter. We are stronger than we believe we are. The struggles we have had up to this point have only been there to prepare us for our current struggles. Don't run and try to hide from your struggles. I understand that we need a stratgey when facing challenges but no action is not acceptable. I have been repeatedly accused of over analyzing things but I formulate a plan and then take action. Fear keeps us frozen and unable to act. Courage is the ability to act inspite of fear. Courage comes from fighting back when things seem bleek. Have courage because you ARE strong. Fight back because you deserve a better life. Fight back because your family deserves a better you. Live and enjoy your life. Dream Big...Pursue Big...Live Big
