What it means to be strong can be defined in many
different ways. You can’t have courage without strength. Many of us believe
ourselves to be weak if we experience any fear or anxiety at all. But feeling
this way is how we are propelled to push onward and find our way through a
challenging or difficult situation. To be strong can be as simple as holding on
when all that’s going on around you suggests that it would be much easier to
let go. Each time you’re faced with a new obstacle, you become stronger because
you have grown and are able to deal with situations in a way you didn’t know how
to do so before. Although it may appear as though you are being knocked down
again, more times than not you are actually at an advantage because of the strategies
of survival life has taught to you.
I admit that I have dealt with stressful events with a
lot of over thinking and emotion. But I noticed that as I have gotten older, I
have become more capable of finding my way through the fog and not allowing it
to cloud my judgement. In knowing myself better and trusting my heart, I am no
longer held down by unnecessary doubt. I still have my bouts with it occasionally;
however I am now able to remind myself that it doesn’t do me all that much good
in the long run. I’ve had more practice with taking things one day at a time. I
still struggle with my patience and have to keep working on trust, but I’m
willing to keep trying and moving forward because I know how worthy the rewards
can be.
