Not in an immature mind

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do. Many a times we have been faced with this predicament and wishing it away doesn’t help either! It consumes your mind to a point of being it’s slave. It takes form of some sort of addiction! So, in the process you try and divert your thoughts to mind engaging activities e.g taking up that assignment that you have shelved for quite some time, doing research on pending projects, watching movies, reading human interest stories, the list is endless. All this is in an effort to WISH ‘it’ (read demon) away instead of facing the issue head-on! 

BUT the moment you have a glance of the demon, no matter how many steps ahead you were on wishing it away, floods of its tormenting memory hit you off balance, leaving you feeling lost, drained and without strength. It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.

The easiest thing to do

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. How many times, you as an individual, have given up on something? Be honest and truthful about it. Aren’t you amazed at how many times you have given up? Heck! it’s the easiest thing to do! But... to hold it together, when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, NOW THAT’S true strength! 

True strength comes about when one confronts the dark parts of yourself, the demons that hold you captive... and working towards banishing them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Oooh yes! sing they will! No matter how painful the experience turns out, use the pain as fuel. Fuel as a constant reminder of your strength within, to never give up but face your demons head-on!
