You Are Stronger
There are so many people in my life that I admire. There are many reasons why. đ
Some of the people I love the most have been through some really hard stuff. A combination of things that you wouldnât even think possible.
Thereâs not a lot I think of as ânot possibleâ anymore. As I listen to so many beautiful ladiesâ stories, I hear them share how those things have made them weak. Whether itâs financial, loss of loved ones, sickness, misunderstanding,…the list goes on, they feel as though they are broken now. Not as good as they used to be. De-valued somehow.
Itâs different for everyone, but a similar feeling of sorts resonates with many of us.
We think the experience made us weak.
You know whatâs so interesting? As I hear their stories, I think the complete opposite.
I see strength. I see endurance. I see so much.Â
It takes a lot of strength to go through the list of things my lovelies have experienced. A LOT. How is it that we donât see strength when weâre on the inside of it?
Turn it around: what if you met a woman and found out about all the things she had been through? All the same exact things youâd been through and you hadnât gone through them.Â
What would you think about her? Wow. How did she go through that? Sheâs strong.Â
Muscles get stronger when theyâre torn up. With every repetition, the muscle grows. You canât get physically stronger without the hard work. When the workout is hard, you know the results are going to be BIG. đ
Humans right now – weâre the same way. With every hard experience, every single one, we get a little stronger – without noticing.Â
This doesnât minimize the pain that came with it. This doesnât minimize the pain that follows. Itâs a reminder of how we can look at ourselves now, afterwards.
Would you say it was hard, a fight, exhausting, a blur, unbelievable?Â
Maybe youâre actually a prize fighter and didnât know it. By the way, those guys are strong.Â
You havenât lost the fight even if it feels like it. You are stronger than you think.Â
A little gem to remember: âWhen Iâm weak, I am powerful.âÂ
What if you are actually stronger than before, you just didnât know it?
That’s how I see you, lovely.
