Strength

I always thought an important value I could behold as a person would be; to be a strong person. Some how I find it seemingly possible to question myself as being this strong each and every day of my life, especially at times like these, where I find myself struggling. I always figured someone who was strong was healthy and without a doubt perfect in every possible way. I have to come to a conclusion that nobody is perfect that I should learn to respect myself for who I am, what may be, and the struggles and issues I deal with each and every day of my life, like everyone else. Sometimes I find myself thinking, …"Look at where you are, what you’ve become, you must be weak, you’re not as strong as I thought you were." But, the most important thought to remember is that we all have our own problems and if I were to sit and criticize and characterize myself as helpless and weak, then I would be weak, I would be the weakest person alive!

See … the most important concept to remember is you are what you think you are, what you believe you are, it’s as easy as that! Deep inside my heart, I know I am a strong person, because I’m still alive after all the hardships I dealt with. I personally believe strong should not even be a word nor should it have a definite definition. More or less, I believe strength has its own meaning to each and every person. Struggles are only a test, surviving a struggle is a strength all its own. I find it important to respect yourself for who you are and how you’ve grown from everything these days we live in world of controversial issues, things can be tough for all of us, finding a way to survive and be yourself is a task all its own.
