Being super-Strong …<br />
(03/13/<strong>2012</strong>)<br />
“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide <strong>the</strong>m, more<br />
strength to relate to people than to dominate <strong>the</strong>m, more ‘manhood’ to abide<br />
by thought-out principles ra<strong>the</strong>r than blind reflex. Toughness is in <strong>the</strong> soul<br />
and <strong>the</strong> spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.” ~ Alex Karras<br />
True Strength is not mastering your desires — true Strength is altering<br />
<strong>the</strong>m; shifting <strong>the</strong>m <strong>from</strong> yourself to o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
We expend so much energy trying to “get healthy” (i.e. live a long life<br />
for ourselves), “look good” (i.e. attract a lover or a partner for ourselves) or “be<br />
successful” (i.e. attain popularity or material comfort for ourselves) — and yet<br />
so often fail to realize that real Peace & real Joy cannot ever come to us<br />
<strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong>se superficial sources.<br />
Indeed, lasting inner Peace & deep-seated Joy only come to us when<br />
we engage actions designed to bring OTHERS better health, to bring<br />
OTHERS deeper Love, to bring OTHERS real success …<br />
Strength doesn’t come <strong>from</strong> what we do —<br />
it comes <strong>from</strong> WHY we are doing what we are<br />
doing. All choices made for ourselves ultimately<br />
make us weaker, just as all choices made for o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
always make us Strong.<br />
Strength is being Kind to strangers …<br />
Strength is forgiving our enemies …<br />
Strength is willingly sacrificing for loved ones.<br />
Here’s to your Strength …<br />
Be STRONG today!<br />
LOVE is a verb …<br />
… got LOVE?<br />
