Soul Search Sunday: Strength

It seems like when I was a child, life was portrayed to be simple and easy. The guy always got his girl and the hero always saved the world. Now that I am older where are the heroes I looked up to? I had to become my own. Life wont always work out the way you plan, things go wrong for a lot of people everyday but its how you survive. How do you survive? You survive by having the strength to overcome any obstacle that may stand in your way with perseverance. 
A lot of people let fear stop them from reaching their full potential. Fear of society, even fearful of the power within them selves. Even fear itself is not a weakness. In your most fearful moment, no matter what it is, your mind is already in survival mode. It is preparing to give you insight on the solutions you need to overcome. Instead of listening to the messages their fear is transmitting, people may break down and let their emotions control their actions or thoughts. 
In fear there is strength and in strength there is survival. When you realize that you can be your own hero, you feel liberated in a sense. Now you know you don't have to wait on anybody and you don't have to be scared. Find your inner strength and let it guide you and no one can dim the light of power that shines from you.
