STRENGTH

"Endeavor to make your talents convertible to ready use, prompt for the occasion, and adapted to the ordinary purposes of life."
~Washington Irving~
 
Real strength is not about  how much we can bench-press, or how much we can lift, or carry. It's about the depth of our roots, in what ground we are planted, and our ability to bend and sway in heavy winds. Our strength is in our optimism and our courage and our ability to be consistent, and steady, and true to our values.
     Our strength is in our core, more than our arms and legs, and in our hearts, more than our pecs, and in our vision more than our ability to see.

My strength is not about how hard I can force things, but about how much I can withstand.
