It Is

Our Only Choice

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
Being Strong is the Only Choice

“You never realize

how strong you are

until strong

is your only choice”

When I read this,

I always think about someone

who has had a terrible accident,

and literally needs all of their Physical Strength

to get over the accident

and back into ‘normal’ Life.

“I never knew I had it in me!”

This, of course, is related to

Mental Strength and Emotional Strength.

None of us know

what we can really “Do”

until we are faced with the fact

that you have to be Strong,

or you will just go under.

A Positive view on Life

will really Help us at such a time.

And the Determination that whatever happens =>

“We will get through this!”

We can ‘Prepare’ for such times

by building up our Minds

on a daily basis

with Positive Affirmations

and Daily Gratitude.

It is Good to recognise

our own Strengths

and to “Know”

that we will get through difficult situations,

because then

we are not afraid when anything comes up.

Sometimes it is a Good thing

to think about

how we got through ‘a situation’ in our past

as this gives us

the Encouragement

and the Strength

to “Know”

that we will get through ‘it’.

Then,

you surprise yourself:

“I never knew I had it in me”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
