Strength isn't measured by the volume of your voice when you aren't listening.

Strength isn't found in the muscles beneath your skin when you don't use them to lift your fellow man.

Strength isn't found in your soul if you've let it grow so dark that it clouds the light from some one elseโ€™s glow.

Strength is found in the quietest souls with the largest hearts and power to fight even when they are at their weakest.

Strength is in any human being who fights their demons and doesn't turn their back on those heavy with inner demons all their own.
