Conquering oneself

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.  - Buddha 

Life, as we know it, is filled with many challenges. It is during our darkest and fearful moments, that we look within ourselves to find the strength to gather our courage and call upon our greatest strength to pull us through such days. That's when you learn to stretch your strength! to limits that are boundless. 

Sometimes you just feel totally beaten up and need comforting arms and encouraging thoughts to soothe your soul. Hey,... you are only human! The surest way to gain strength is through practice and making efforts to learn from mistakes. Conquering oneself is a heroic gesture, where an ordinary individual finds the strength to persevere and endure one’s demons in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
