it is true that situations have a way of literally wrecking havoc in your mind,and in most cases they do.there comes a time when we are caught up between a hard place and a rock and we just cannot do much about it even though we try.we just stand and freeze waiting for life too take its course.
the thing is when we are faced with such times we learn to look on the inside of ourselves for strength.you cannot control the world around you but you can control the world inside.in each of us there is a strength we have, a capability given to us by God,it is a strength based on character.when we discover that unique ability, we can handle anything that comes our way. we can learn to draw strength from the inside and walk through whatever life throws our way.we learn the power of the voice within us,the amazing ability of the mind.we learn to discover and decide who we want to be even within the trials we encounter.we can either be warriors or spectators of our own lives.the thing is when it happens in the mind,it happens in reality.when you free yourself and find strength in your mind somehow even in the real world the strength will come up.
funny as it may seem trials in life have taught me to trust the strength within me, to look within and find the will to stick it through,to look in the mirror and decide to choose a path of strength and courage.it is true when they say something will hurt you as deeply as you allow it to hurt you,trials will break you as much as you allow them to break you.there is an amazing strength in the mortal human,the things that human beings can endure have amazed me time and time again,you and i are no different. we can go through the good the bad and the downright ugly only if we see the capability within our very own selves.
as i disclaimer i will tell you it is not the easiest thing to do when disaster strikes and you find strength within but once you do, you are able to take it one day at a time and the trials seem to grow you more than anything else.the best part however is when you are done walking through the fire and you are amazed by your very own strength.like a brilliant singer once sang "i found my own strength....".
next time life seems nasty,brutal even...take a moment to look to heaven to show you the strength within,dont crush at the thought of trouble.learn to rise to the tough road,to walk along it for within you God placed the ability,the strength and courage to deal with whatever comes your way....
find your niche strength this week....cheers.
