Live inspired. Be empowered. Own your life.

Some people say that there is strength in numbers.  I will call this outward strength or group strength.

My most inspired thoughts and my most empowered moments come when I am alone.  I will call this inner strength.

Inner strength is fundamental to being a successful, purposeful, passionate, healthy and happy human being.

What defines inner strength?

• Self-love, Self-awareness, Faith, Wisdom, Courage, Respect for Yourself & Others, Discipline, Confidence, Pride, Peace, Forgiveness, Humility, Accountability, Willpower, Kindness, Gentleness, Compassion, Understanding

Inner strength can be innate to some of us, others must work for it and unfortunately some never experience it.  If you have it, if you find it, never let it go.  It is the strength that takes you on a first date after a break-up, the strength that allows you to move on after losing someone you love, the strength to push harder when all you want to do is give up on your weight loss goal, the strength to forgive when you never thought you could, the strength to be compassionate and understanding rather than indifferent, the strength to believe in yourself when the odds are against you, the strength to live up to your potential, the strength to fight a deadly disease, or the strength to know when to give up.

I hope and wish that everyone reading this now can find that strength, can use that strength, to take the next step forward.

(I would love for you'll to comment on this topic, it's so relevant to each of us, it's so applicable to life and it is always a work in progress.)

Live inspired.  Be empowered.  Own your life.
