You're Strong..!

You.
Yes you, the one who is reading this right now. You Know..? You are a strong, capable human being.
You have two strong hands. You have a heart and lungs that keep you alive. And an appendix, and kidneys, and all those other organs for that matter.
You have a brain capable of processing information, working through problems, figuring out solutions.

Yet we constantly become stuck in situations where we feel trapped. Isolated, caged, locked away.
It's a horrible, disgusting feeling.

It's only natural to get hypothetically claustrophobic and try to claw your way out, to lash out blindly. But from past experience, all that ends with a fit of despair at how trapped you really feel.

But; hear this..! There is always a way out. There is always a solution...!

As cliche as it may seem, the answer all lies in a change of a mindset.
The moment I changed that idea that was lodged into my psychethat the idea "no matter how much I failed, God always knows what BEST for me" -- I suddenly felt so, so free.

Of course, there are obviously times when it will take more than that. After all, the world can be harsh and unforgiving. Sometimes solutions can be very hard to find.

But I trust you can do it. If you TRUST that idea, no matter what the circumstance, then it will become true. Maybe you won't arrive at exactly the place you wanted to when you started, but you will always find a better place, a higher ground.

Make everyday a mission. A challenge. Know your goals.
Know where you want to be, who you want to be, what changes you want to see.
work toward it.

This relates to just about anything--depression, academics, social problems, financial problems, even a misleading life.

If you know exactly WHAT your working for and WHY, believe me, it will be a load off your shoulders.

Living can be hard.
Sometimes it feels like there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel.

Sometimes, you have to create your own light.
I am a strong believer that we all have a light inside ourselves.

See the beauty in everything. Hold on to that light.
Never let it go out. And then may we see a better ending for us. because we're (you're) STRONG...!
