How Strong Are You?

So many of us think we don't have the strength to do difficult things. But we really do. We have all experienced difficult things in our lives. And we are still here to acknowlege it.

Don't underestimate your toughness. The very fact that you have survived this long is evidence of toughness. Things we seldom think about as our successes do attest to our ability to survive difficult times.

Maybe your difficulties are not high on the scale of hard to do as someone else's. But that doesn't prove you aren't tough. Just getting born isn't easy! And there are lots of hard times after that.

Consider some of the things you have been through and give yourself credit for having made it. You are a success! Begin to consider the successes in your life. Some of you have overcome childhood abuse. Some have accomplished academically. Some have overcome addition. Some have survived the loss of love, or of jobs, or of finances. Whatever hard times you've survived, you are a success.

So don't limit yourself by thinking that you can't do hard things. Experience hardships as training for successes in your future.

Have confidence in yourself. Set your mind to succeed.

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right."              Henry Ford
