Yesterday I went out for an 8-mile run. After a summer of unrequited illness, my legs feel out of shape, and I'm 11 lbs overweight; my lungs are out of the habit of working hard. I began to think, though, that "I have done this before."
Strength is everpresent; it does not come and go. We all have moments when we are more in touch with our strength--physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual...or probably more accurately, the intertwinement of those. Our strength is sometimes challenged by fear, anxiety, doubt, or pain. But the strength is always there, we need only be confident.
Catch yourself today talking yourself out of your strength. The self-doubt, or fear, or whatever will not go away. Just allow it to be there. But equally, embrace all the strength that is within you and stay present in that reality.
