The Inner Strength

Sometimes individuals feel like they have hit a "wall" or they're at rock bottom or there is no chance of a victory. There are various examples of this occurance. One such may be that of a wayward person striving for forgiveness and begging for a second chance. They are sparce of hope and broken on the inside, yet no matter how much friends and family can try to help, they just don't understand what is happening inside. At the very last moment it's that small inner strength that pulls them out of despair.

This could also be reared to runners and that last lap. They can't simply stop and take a quick drink of gatorade. They don't have the option of a team mate to finish it for them or a friend to carry them. When they are savoring every ounce of oxygen that enters their body, and every part of their body is straining and in pain, it's those split seconds that a runner swears they'll never do this again. But then they draw some wondrous and powerful strength from within that pulls them across that line and in turn forget the hurt.

It may be a heartbreak, one that everyone views as not a big deal and possibly even an over-reaction yet to the individual, it's a literal feeling deep inside that you can feel something tearing away from you. Almost like a real part of you is taken away. And it is especially in this predicament that nothing or no-one can help. And whether it's the need to move on and forget or to let someone else into your heart, once again it is that amazing and unique power from within that heals them.

So no matter the situation, whatever or whoever it is that is making you hurt, don't let it become big enough that it can make you give up on yourself. You decide when you want to give up, or stop running, or stop loving, or stop dreaming, or stop trying, or stop believing in yourself. When everything else falls apart and when everyone else fails you, you still have that inner strength, it's you. Use it.
