"Weak men are the slaves of what happens.
Strong men are masters of what happens.
Weak men are victims of their environment.
Strong men are victors in any environment.
Strong men may not change the circumstances, but they will use them, compel them to serve, and bend them to their purposes.
They may not be able to change the direction of the wind, but somehow they will coerce the wind to fill their sails while they drive the tiller over to keep their course."
- George Craig Stewart
We all have this choice and amazing opportunity on a minute by minute basis!
We cannot always dictate our circumstances, but as sure as the day is long we all have immense and irrevocable power to make the choice of surrender, passivity, or STRENGTH as our response!
So many of us are in the very midst of a tempest - a tempest of worry, anxiety, fear, despair, hopelessness, and a loss of Faith!
At times it seems the waves may overcome our ships and that very moment is when we can exercise the only real power or control we have over anything in our lives - the choice to quit, surrender or to persevere, forge ahead with faith and sense of purpose and strength of will and soul!!
Make the choice for strength, the choice for Hope and for Faith that everything will work out and be ok!
Because guess what - IT ALWAYS DOES!!
Ask for help - ask for guidance - ask for the renewal of your faith and always know that you are NEVER alone or isolated in your battles, your challenges and trials!
If you can take this leap of faith and BELIEVE in this - I can assure you that your life will take on new meaning, new purpose, and new vigor!
It will change in the very second you consciously CHOOSE to accept Strength over weakness.
Choose Strength! You may think you don't have it in you - but YOU DO - we ALL do and we need only to make up our minds and summon it - RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
Stay Strong!!
