I Believe In Inner Strength
Running on Empty:
I believe in inner strength. I have seen it at play in my life, as I am sure most people have.
First, however, let me explain what I mean by 'Inner Strength'. Wiktionary defines Inner Strength thustly; " Integrity of character; resoluteness of will; mental resistance to doubt or discouragement. " That is their definition however. My definition differs somewhat. I define it as being a store of willpower/ personal strength that exists inside all of us.
Most people, I believe, are unaware of this store of power within them. But it is always there; ready to pull us through the darkest of times. That is its purpose. To keep us going when the going gets tough. To help us hold it together when our worlds fall apart. To keep us pushing forward when our legs can no longer carry us. To keep us alive when we have lost the will to live.
I have been running on empty for a while now. I have - yet again - lost the desire to participate in my own life. I have grown apathetic towards it. But still I wake up every morning. I drag myself out of bed and do the things that I am supposed to do. And I'm managing.
Inner strength is what makes us such a remarkable and resilient species. Sad then, to know that some people don't even believe it exists.
