Being super-Strong … ( 03 / 13 / 2012 )
“ It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them , more strength to relate to people than to dominate them , more ‘ manhood ’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex . Toughness is in the soul and the spirit , not in muscles and an immature mind .” ~ Alex Karras
True Strength is not mastering your desires — true Strength is altering them ; shifting them from yourself to others .
We expend so much energy trying to “ get healthy ” ( i . e . live a long life for ourselves ), “ look good ” ( i . e . attract a lover or a partner for ourselves ) or “ be successful ” ( i . e . attain popularity or material comfort for ourselves ) — and yet so often fail to realize that real Peace & real Joy cannot ever come to us from these superficial sources .
Indeed , lasting inner Peace & deep-seated Joy only come to us when we engage actions designed to bring OTHERS better health , to bring OTHERS deeper Love , to bring OTHERS real success …
Strength doesn ’ t come from what we do — it comes from WHY we are doing what we are doing . All choices made for ourselves ultimately make us weaker , just as all choices made for others always make us Strong .
Strength is being Kind to strangers … Strength is forgiving our enemies … Strength is willingly sacrificing for loved ones .
Here ’ s to your Strength … Be STRONG today !
LOVE is a verb … … got LOVE ?
