What defines a person is how well he rises after falling.
A friend showed this to me a couple of years ago and at that time, I really couldn't figure out what deeper meaning it had. But today, all of a sudden, I had an epiphany. Strength is the greatest quality anyone can ever have. Whether we've had it all along, or whether we learn how to be strong, it doesn't matter. It's needed throughout life. Through every hardship. Through every crap ever given to us, through every fight, through every loss.
Strength is needed when we lose someone we love ( whether it's family, a friend, a pet or a lover) physically or emotionally, it's needed when we fail to reach expectations(built by us or by someone close to us), when we fail an exams, when someone tells us something that we don't really want to hear. Strength is needed when someone dies, strength is needed when someone leaves us, when we leave someone, strength is needed when things change, when people change, when we need to change..
But just because we need strength doesn't mean that we always use it when the time comes. Because when the time comes, we don't want to be strong. We want to scream, we want to shout, we want to question God's actions. We want to have never gone through what we're going through. We hurt. We cry. We fall into depression. We forget that we need to be strong and realize that this is life.. and that life has its down and that life isn't always about being happy. We fall from grace.
What we need to master is strength. So that when a moment comes which makes us fall into despair and we can't see a ray of light in the darkness, we're strong enough to move past it, we're strong enough to let go, we're strong enough to believe that life goes on. We're strong enough to live life like we were instead of thinking that life isn't worth living.
That strength.. is the best thing that can ever happen to us.
