One way to take your mind off of panic and worry. Is to shift your mind away from yourself seemed to give me some strength and a will to endure and be brave and get back on my feet because there are a lot of people out there who can’t.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow - it empties today of strength.

Personal Reality

Our strengths are our tools, our personal reality. Our weaknesses are only what we are not.

Joe Batten

Acknowledge Every Strength

Challenging yourself means you dare to acknowledge every strength and weakness. You have to be ready to change them into power and strength. Dare to challenge yourself means you have entered the world of the highest commitment in the process to achieve your own victory.

Knowing Yourself

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.

Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)

Self-Talk

Positive and encouraging self-talk will contribute to inner strength and self-respect, which will drastically alter the way you see yourself and your potential in life.

The Gifts

Strength, courage and wisdom are just some of the gifts you get from overcoming adversity.

Help Someone

You can always pray for someone or keep them in your thoughts, when you don’t have the strength to help them in some other way.

The Obstacles

Our strength often increases in proportion to the obstacles imposed upon it.

Paul De Rapin

Power of Our Thoughts

If we understood the power of our thoughts,
we would guard them more closely.
If we understood the awesome power of our words,
we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.
In our thoughts and words we create
our own weaknesses and our own strengths.
Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts.
We can always replace negative with positive.

- Bettie Eadie

Strength, Courage and Confidence

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face… The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it… You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Allow Your Strength To Be Revealed In Your Words And Actions !

The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it. When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. When we are free from the identification with the weakness, we are able to bring about a change very quickly. We find it very easy to stabilise ourselves in the awareness of our strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all our words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

- Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Obstacles You Cannot Overcome

Be confident that no matter what adversity you face, you will be strong enough to remain positive and optimistic. Knowing that there is no obstacle you cannot overcome will give you that strength.

Circle of Power

Power is strength and the ability to see yourself through your own eyes and not through the eyes of another. It is being able to place a circle of power at your own feet and not take power from someone else’s circle.

Nothing can match the strength of those whose lives have been shaped and forged through challenging and overcoming hardships. Such people fear nothing. The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to develop such strength and fortitude. To cultivate such an invincible core is in itself a victory. It is also the greatest benefit. Those who can succeed in this endeavor will savor unsurpassed happiness; they can manifest the supreme state of Buddhahood.

Determiation and Inner Strength

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to
appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry, nuture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances, they
provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.

- Dalai Lama

When Life Pushes You Down

When life pushes you down, push back!
That’s what you’re here for.

You’re capable, you’re creative, you’re full of life and energy.
You have what it takes to move yourself forward around any obstacle.
Don’t let anything stop you.

Take strength from meeting the challenges, and move ahead.
The struggles you face are just what you need to fulfill your potential for greatness.

A year from now, when you look back at today,
you’ll see that the problem you’re so concerned with right now,
was another valuable lesson waiting to be learned
