To be strong does not mean to sprout muscles and flex. It means meeting one's own numinosity without fleeing, actively living with the wild nature in one's own way. It means to be able to learn, to be able to stand what we know. It means to stand and live.
Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power if within, and it is available to you now.
Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible--not to have run away.
Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun more last than star
Concrete is heavy; iron is hard - but the grass will prevail.
Whatever defeats you makes you more stronger.
nothing is impossible if you believe. beleive in yourself and make the impossible possible.
Pain is weakness leaving the body. The question isn't how much more can you take, but how much more can you give. Just when you're ready to quit, your mind says push harder. You listen sensing an inner strength that wasn't there before, and suddenly you discover you no longer feel the pain.
Burn me.
Drown me.
Tell me lies.
I will still be who I am.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop
your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not
to surrender, that is strength.
A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or principle.
The spiritual strength of human beings at its most profound can bring one face to face with Gods Light and inspire in the soul a miraculous transformation which can bring peace to all.
"Keep smiling and do what makes you feel good. Life is full of ups and downs and the measure of our character is how we handle the down times, not the ups"
"Faith gives limitation wings and empowers one to access higher levels of wisdom."
The farther down the road you go the tougher they get
and I live at the end of the road!
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn
how to do it."
"Only the strong survive"
Don't expect others to treat you better than they treat themselves. If you choose to deal with them (or must), it is best to come from a place of compassion toward their ignorance and lack of love. Be solid enough to deal with it or step back to work on yourself first. ~Danielle Marie Crume
You are built to pull a cart,
to lift a heavy load and bear it,
to haul up the long slope, and so
am I, peasant bodies, earthy, solid
shapely dark glazed clay pots that can
stand on the fire.
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go
"Not to know what things in life require remedying is a crime... It leaves you at the mercy of events - it lets life manipulate you - instead of training you to manipulate life."
"You have to crumble to be made strong by God."
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
Being tatttooed has opened up a whole new way of life for me. I now have a whole circle of interesting friends.
