"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time."
~ Anna Freud
Many of us, perhaps all of us, have at times
admired the strength we saw in someone else and thought that person has more than we do.
We may have even envied the strength we saw in someone else, thinking we lack it.
Today, let's accept the fact that whatever we recognize in another person is a reflection of that quality in us.
We would not see inner strength - or any gift - in someone else if
we didn't have it within ourselves.
We may not have nurtured and developed strength as much as someone else, but it's there.
Watch for strength in action today. Watch for it in others and in yourself.
When you see any form of strength shown, remember: what you are seeing is a reflection of what's in you.
And "It's there all the time," as
Anna Freud said.
Beginning today, let's better recognize our strength and help others to see theirs.
With reverence for all,
Charlene
PS - You are stronger, braver, more beautiful and more talented than you yet realize.
