Strength

Hello Readers,

During our lives, we are often tested and facing up to certain situations can make us feel overwhelmed, disheartened and  at our wits end, but no matter how hard we have to struggle to overcome obstacles, we must never feel defeated.  There will always be a way forward if we don’t give up at the first hurdle and look hard enough for some answers.

Sometimes you are going to meet people with domineering personalities, the loud, the obnoxious, the show offs that stake their claim in your life and everywhere else they set foot. They systematically work on stripping your confidence and prey on your gentleness and calm nature  with the intention of grinding you down to a complete full stop. Then of course many of us are faced with relationship problems, business and financial worries and health issues, all of which cause us enormous worries and stressful anxieties that drain our life energies just thinking about them.

From time to time, we all get knocked down on the outside, but the key to victory is getting up on the inside, brushing ourselves down and starting all over again. Yes, I know this sounds easier said than done, but if you don’t get ‘over it’, you will end up going ‘under it’ if you don’t get a grip and start digging deep in your wells of reserve energy in order to deal with stuff as it comes along. Anyone can just throw the towel in and give up, but it takes a very strong and determined person to fight the good fight and win.

In order to survive, it’s very important that you find that inner strength that is deep within you and empower yourself, because if you don’t, nobody else will.  Every challenge you face is an inspiration to realise your dreams. It’s yet another opportunity to prove to yourself just what you are capable of achieving once you put your mind to it.   Nothing in this life worth having comes easily.  People all over the world are fighting for freedom, battling with disease and doing absolutely everything they can just to stay alive and manage until the darkest storm clouds have dispersed and gone away.  You gain the strength, courage and confidence by every experience you live through and in which you really have to stop and look fear in the face.  Get a grip and do the thing which you really think you cannot do because you will surprise yourself with what you are actually capable of once you give it your best shot.  Your greatest test comes when you are the most weary, battle worn and when you think you cannot take any more nor hold on for any longer.  Self-mastery is the challenge for every individual and the ultimate test of our character.  It requires climbing out of the deepest valleys of our lives and scaling the highest mountains.  Believe in yourself and all that you are, knowing that there is something deep down inside you that is far greater than any obstacle that you are being faced and burdened with.   Strength does not come from physical capacity, it comes from indomitable will and the determination to succeed, no matter what.

Forget what hurt you, but never forget what taught you.  You will never know how truly strong you are until being strong and resolute is the only choice you have.  Before you start losing faith in the universe and in yourself or someone else, take heart and  remember that nothing lasts forever, nothing remains the same.  All situations have a beginning bit, a middle bit and end bit.

Distance tests a horse’s strength, time tests a person’s character.

Until Next Week,

Love and Light,
