When confronted with challenges, we are given the choice to either wither under the weight of the obstacle or to call upon our inner strength and maneuver forward. I’m not speaking of physical strength but the inner resolve to carry on; to rise up; to endure; to learn; and even to prevail. Life has a way of presenting us with circumstances, people, places, physical and emotional roadblocks. While we do not have control of what we find along our way, we do have control over how we face these issues.
While you may need time to collect yourself from a challenge, to grieve, heal, plan; there will be a time to decide how to endure and that all begins with movement, both physical and emotional. The choice to face the challenge comes from your inner strength and determination. It is there within all of us. Sometimes it is buried. Sometimes it has been crushed. But it is there nonetheless.
As the saying goes “Fake it until you make it” comes to mind. Sure you may have to smile while inside you are crying. Remember though that is movement. There will come a time you will smile again without it being forced. You will smile, laugh and move on to a better place. It is your choice so choose to dig deep within and find your strength!
May you always choose to be strong amidst the challenges along your path.
