Be Strong

I am stronger now

Life’s lessons can be hard. We tend to avoid that which could be considered confrontational. I have never been one to be a confrontational type of person, and would consider myself one to avoid it at all costs. We all have disturbances and tragedies in our lives that cause changes. And because of these issues in our lives, they can either make us a stronger person or they can make us give up.

Although at the time we never realize that these explosions in our lives may be there for a reason, at the time they are happening we cant think past them, and if we are lucky we can make it through them and learn a lesson from them.

An example of this would be being diagnosed with a terminal illness. When you find out about this, you can react in one of two ways, you can give up, and dwell on this for what is left of your life, or you can use this as an opportunity to live out what is left of it and enjoy everything that you possibly can, in a new light. Knowing that you don’t have much time, you can relish what you have. Personally seeing this through my own eyes, I have found that the ones that give up, tend to leave us more quickly, in body mind and spirit, and the ones that decide to make the most of it, end up having a much richer experience. I have even found some of these cases where people will actually win the battle against the illness. This could be prayer, power of positive thinking, call it what you will.

The lessons in my life have made me a stronger person. I have had many of these explosions in my short life. Each time they happen to me, I know that things will get better, they have to get better. I always tell myself that because negativity is such a strong thing, it breeds. If I was a negative person I would never have gotten this far in my life. I now tend to avoid anyone that comes into my life that is a negative influence.

Each one of these negative, life changing experiences has made me a much stronger person. My life would not be the same had I not gone through them. And each time it happens I become stronger, and stronger, because of them.
