Draw Inspiration From Them

You Are Just As Strong

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 7 months ago 1 min read
look in the mirror

“Strong people rarely have an easy past”

This is something

that we should always try to remember.

When we look at people

who have achieved amazing things in their lives,

we rarely see the struggles

that they have had to overcome.

They have been through many challenging times

but it is their strength and their resilience

that has got them to where they are today.

And this is something

that we need to remember.

None of us are born into an ‘easy’ world,

so instead of comparing ourselves to others,

let’s embrace our own struggles

and use them as stepping-stones

in strengthening

our own talents and individual skills.

This way,

we can see what we,

as individuals,

are capable of and can achieve.

What seems difficult and hard today,

we will look back on and feel proud

when we remember how we overcame

such challenging times.

Each small ‘win’

builds up to become bigger ‘wins’

on our journey of life.

Instead of comparing ourselves

to these ‘great’ people,

let’s draw inspiration

from their ‘stories’,

even as others draw inspiration from ours.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
