Strength...

Have you ever come to some moment in your life, where you discover how truly strong-willed you are?

Everyone focuses on the big acts of heroic will...you know the kind that save people from incurable diseases, drove a global campaign for the conservation of energy or received a nobel prize. But, we forget the small little accomplishments we do each and everyday. We don't see them for what they truly are. Little works of mastery that enables us to reach that pivotal moment of self-actualization.


So much has happened this week. First the scholarship video, now personal issues. They seem like small ordinary things. But, I know now that they're not just that. They motivated me, inspired me, cultivated me into knowing a bit more of myself. And even though I have still ways to go with those things, I am comforted in the fact that I can be bold--I can be strong.

There is nothing like having faith in yourself. I truly believe that you have to learn gradually to have faith in yourself before you can truly put your faith in others or things.

So on this little post I say Salute to everyone who has had that moment where despite hardships, we discover that we have always had the power all along to rise from the ashes. A power that burns bright in our heart, body and soul.


So SALUTE!


[prayer]

Dear angel and Lord,
I ask that you take care of my family, friends and the world. Fill our hearts with love, compassion, understanding, and respect.  Do not let us lose the faith in ourselves and each other.

Amen.
