Strength

I am an enormous advocate of working out.
I love how I feel after a good sweaty bit at the gym.
Zumba and aerobics can have me dancing for days.
Lifting weights gives me focus to attain goals.

But . . .

There is a tenacity
that can not be found in a studio or a gym.
There is a fortitude
unattainable by bench-pressing or squatting.
There is a power
you cannot find in dancing yourself half to death.

This strength comes
from humility;
from embracing your flaws;
from accepting yourself;
from asking for help;
from realizing you're ok;
from helping others;
from faith;
from within your own
very amazing and incredible
self.
