Strength For Tomorrow

"The struggle that you’re in today is developing the strength you’ll need for tomorrow. Don’t give up."  - Robert Tew

We may wish for an easier life at times, but we know that the way we handle ourselves under challenging circumstances is what truly shapes who we are. Don't wish for things to be easier; wish for the courage and strength to be better. Don't wish for fewer problems; wish to learn and develop and improve your skills. Don't wish for fewer challenges; wish for more knowledge and wisdom to face them. The people we admire the most aren't those who've had everything given to them. They're the people who have had to work hard and suffered to achieve what they have achieved.  

I can handle life's tragedies and setbacks. I don't welcome these events, but I recognize that they have much more to do with defining your character than happy times do. Your character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Every struggle has shaped you into the person you are today. The struggle that you're in today is developing the strength you'll need for tomorrow. Be thankful for the hard times; they can only make you stronger.

The more you've struggled to heal yourself and love yourself, the more inspiring your story will be to others when you come out the other side full of triumph, awareness, and honor. Don't give up, don't give in. You were given this life because you're strong enough to live it. Your struggle today is your source of wisdom for the future.

May the strength you have obtained from the difficulties you've endured help you achieve your desired goals and the life you deserve! 

And, remember to be kind to one another, knowing that everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Make today great!
