What Makes Us Stronger
What truly does make us stronger?
Is it the things we witness in #life? The change in other people? The making and breaking of relationships? Are these the things that make us want to be more courageous in the choices we make?
Or is it the decisions we choose to lead our lives by? No one should ever have to tell you what you want to do with your #life, that's because it's yours to do with as you see fit. People may try to guide you, but they can't control you. It's your choice wether you want to take their advice or not. Does choosing one opinion over another make us believe in our decision making more?
Maybe you've been through a really tough time? And sometimes #life can be extremely tough on you. Most of the time it seems like the world just can't accept you because of the way you want to live your #life. And this will eat you alive from the inside out. But you don't have to feel that way. There will always be people who will stand by who you are. You may not know it, or you may do, but there is probably someone within 10 minutes of you right now who would happily talk to you about problems. Is this what makes you stronger? Does knowing others will be there for you give us the ability to strive for better?
Or is it loss? Sometimes losing something, or even the fear of losing something itself, can be the worst pain in the world. Perhaps a loved one had passed. You might have even had to say goodbye to a friend. Loss can lead to such heartache, but sometimes it gives us the strength to try harder, or do what they wanted for you in #life. Just because someone isn't there any more doesn't mean they are gone. Memories, memories are what remain of people. And memories can be one of the most powerful forces on earth, because they can lead you to achieve great things, truly great things. They can lead you to remember a smile, a laugh, a tear, a touch, courage.
#life will throw so many things at you, and most of the time you don't know what you've ever done to deserve it, but that is what truly gives us strength. It is the ability in knowing you can believe in something to over come even the most terrifying obstacles #life can bring.
Don't ever forget, it's an incredibly big world we live in. Have faith in others, whatever problems you might be facing, there are hundreds, if not thousands more people, who are going through something similar.
Don't ever forget, you're never alone in this world. And that, is what makes us stronger.
