Lay That Foundation

Of Strength

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 4 months ago 1 min read
Like the lion, be the king or queen of your own life

“The struggle you’re in today

is developing the strength you need

for tomorrow.

Don’t give up.”

This is good advice!

Every day we face a struggle of some kind,

some we don’t even notice

but others seem ‘too much’.

Either way,

we overcome them,

day in and day out,

and each one we overcome —

we become stronger and more resilient.

Every obstacle

is an opportunity and a stepping-stone

to learn and move forwards

on our journey in life.

When we ‘embrace’ these struggles,

we are proving to ourselves and others

that we are

in Control of our own lives.

Then,

we can ‘create’

the best version

of ourselves.

Your perseverance

is laying

a strong foundation.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
