Strength where does it come from?
Filed Under (Words of Wisdom) by Adam on 20-05-2007
It can come from way down deep during the tough times, or it can be found in close friends and family.
True strength comes from heart ache, pain, loss, or horrible situations.
There are very few of us who are able to harness that strength and rise to a new level above those who will simply carry on.
Those that rise to that new level will always prevail, overcome and survive.
The one major thing that always prevents people from moving on, or dealing with the events at hand is taking that first step.
Letting oneself become completely vulnerable to allow for the opportunity to pick themselves up.
Many choose to do that on their own, while others would rather confide in family and friends to help them battle through.
That is what separates those who strive to find their inner strength and those who simply run.
Those that just carry on will always continue to run from the hardships in order to just ignore the problems thinking they will just disappear.
Those people who keep running will eventually have to hit a dead end, or they will continue to run in circles.
Through all of those hardships comes true strength. It opens a door to a new awareness of strength in ones self.
One that has taken the time to hit rock bottom and say “why am I here” and “how am I going to get out”. Has truly found the first steps to recovery and happiness.
A person that has truly relied on their inner strength has seen their inner spirit.
In doing so they have stumbled upon a great mystery in life, that mystery of the realization of who that person really is.
No one ever knows who they are until they find it or in many cases that inner self shines through in the roughest times helping them accomplish anything during the rough periods.
Finding true strength leads to helping find oneself.
Thus allowing the person to be truly happy with not only their surroundings, but to be truly happy with themselves.
We should not spend our time feeling sorry for ourselves instead we should feel sorry for those who continue to run from their problems as well as running from the opportunity to truly find out who they are.
Until one finds the inner strength to love themselves they will truly never see the potential they truly have that everyone else sees.
