What are you waiting for?
First off...I am not sure why I am writing about this, but I just had the overwhelming urge to get this off my chest.
I was at Wal-mart this morning and I bought a few things. (A 10-lb kettle ball and some resistance bands.) As I was leaving and on my way to work, I was thinking about strength.
The conclusion I have come up with is that strength isn't just about muscles and training your body to withstand tougher physical pressure.
True strength comes from within. Anyone can lift weights and look stronger, but few can withstand the pressure of life itsef.
For example:
The mother whose child is in the ICU fighting cancer, trying to hold it together so her baby doesn't give up...
The parent who just lost his wife and 2 daughters in a car crash involving a drunk driver...
The wife whose husband just walked out on her and her 3 children because he fell in lust with his secretary...
The young girl who finally had sex with her boyfriend because he promised they would be together forever...and then left her and called her a whore when he found out she was pregnant...
The man who lost his job, and has no means to support his hungry family...
The 19-year-old girl who watched helplessly as her dad gave CPR to her too far gone mother, while she was on the phone with 9-1-1...
I know what strength is...I was that 19-year-old girl. When it seems like all hell has broken loose, and you have nowhere to turn, you have to look within. I am here to tell you that you CAN do it. You CAN get through the problems in this life.
I don't know who needed to hear this today, but I know I was meant to write this.
