INNER STRENGTH
“The sun shines not on us but in us.”
John Muir
We all have it. Some people may be better at tapping into it and going
deeper than others, but it is in there somewhere. Where does it come
from? Fortitude, persistence, resilience, preparation, relentlessness,
wisdom, courage, patience, strength, whatever label we choose to
put on it, these are just words we use. What counts is what we do
and how we do it. We may never know the exact answer to whatever
divine providence, or the universe has placed within us, or whatever
we have grown, developed, cultivated within ourselves, or both. We
are capable of things or so much more than what we ever “thought”
possible. The choices we make based on our values are the foundation
for everything we do. The hero and the coward feel the same inside.
Some people just make better choices. Some people are simply better
at hiding it. Choose courage. Choose truth. Choose to do your best no
matter what the circumstances may be. We may never know where
this inner strength comes from. Do your best and use it to the best of
your abilities. Be the best version of yourself in the moment you are
faced with it. Believe in yourself. Banish all doubt. A little doubt is ok,
it helps us prepare. The only true limitations are the limits we place on
ourselves. Challenge yourself regularly. Take on interesting challenges
that force us to grow. We do not always get to choose the load, but
we get to choose how we carry it. We are what we believe ourselves
to be. Do not lie to yourself. Do not fool yourself. Avoid constantly
comparing yourself to other people. Believe in yourself.
