Strength
March 3, 2014
Strength isn’t winning a wrestling match
Or lifting a car above your head
Or doing a hundred pushups
Strength is getting up when you can’t,
Standing up for what’s right
Strength is the willingness to go on,
No matter how hard it gets
Strength is saying “I will”, not “I can’t”
Strength isn’t winning;
It’s striving to do your best
Strength isn’t climbing a mountain;
But standing before a mountain and knowing you can climb it
Strength isn’t just fighting;
It’s knowing that you have something to fight for
