Strength.

How do we measure strength?

there is physical strength, and there is emotional strength. which is more important?

how do you know if you are strong? i believe there is no way of knowing until that moment when you are put to the test. everyone comes across a moment like this. some come across several.

at times like these, we get pushed until we exceed our limit.

and then you have a battle between mind and heart, what you want to do and what must be done.  

in the middle of the battle, we are unstable, we often make the wrong choice, and cant see the result until its too late…

someone told me that “sometimes strength is not demonstrated by going it alone, but by finding someone to help.”

this made me think.

i thought, and i considered.

and maybe, if others would also consider, then they would see that while we are caught in a sticky situation second guessing ourselves,  it is better to have the counseling of a friend, family member, or teacher to straighten our minds out while we are unable to do so ourselves, than to make an easy choice and await an uncertain conclusion.

and then i thought some more….

and i realized, that it takes a whole lot more strength to see that you need help and go get it than it does to detach yourself from the people who are in your life and go it alone.  

Maybe lifes unfair, but its not cruel, we all have someone to lean on.

and  thats all we need.
