Strength is like a muscle. It’s hard to build up and easy to break down. It’s what allows us to overcome challenges and achieve great things. Whether it’s pushing ourselves to the brink of exhaustion at the gym or getting up after getting knocked down, being strong means having the inner strength to carry on even when we feel like we can’t go on any longer. And when we do, our power becomes apparent with a newfound sense of self-confidence and self-respect and confidence in others to see us through all obstacles.
When you’re strong, you’re able to do things that you enjoy and feel good about. When you’re weak, it’s hard work to survive.
But strength isn’t just about what your muscles can do for you–it’s also about what your mind can do for you! You know when someone is strong because of how they carry themselves and have a lot of self-esteem and belief in themselves.
