The Journey To True Strength

The Journey To True Strength

by Mario A. Campanaro

Don’t get it twisted. Strength is not achieved by wearing a mask of being “badass.” It’s not about how much muscle we can pack onto our bodies, or how many successes we accumulate. Strength isn’t defined by our social status or political influence. While these things may sometimes be worthy of celebration, they are temporary, and they can cloud our understanding of who we truly are in relation to others.

True strength comes from our perseverance in overcoming what seems impossible. It’s the strength that is earned through the journey of self-discovery, where we learn to remember, respect, and open our hearts to love at the core level. This is the kind of strength that can never fade. It doesn’t compete with any transient token of achievement, and all else pales in comparison to this mind-blowing journey.

Never give up on what is good and true. No matter how trying life gets, no matter how hard things may seem, never, ever give up on your true Self. You will find all the strength you need—and even the strength you didn’t know you had—simply through the journey itself.
