Inner Strength


To the outside world, strength is power – to influence others or beat your opposition.  But then there’s inner strength, resilience, moral fiber – all of which help us to stand up for what we believe in.  This inner strength isn’t about muscle power, it’s more about having the guts to carry on no matter what.
Cultivate your inner strength by doing something that will stretch you.
Don’t let others push you around, stand firm during those difficult conversations.
Remember that a sign of strength is taking responsibility for your actions.
Don’t be too proud to ask for help when you need it.  It will only serve to make you stronger.
Know your own strengths by making a list of them, post them on your bedroom mirror and refer to them every morning and night.
A strong body helps to build a strong inner strength so take care of your health.  Just for today, resist that second helping and do thirty minutes of exercise.
Pick one of your fears and take this week to really analyze it.   Is it real?  Use your inner strength to question this fear and confront it.
