Guest guest Posted February 20, 2000 Report Share Posted February 20, 2000 Today's thought is: " The strength you've insisted on assigning to others is actually within yourself. " -- Alther If we think right now about people we admire and respect, we'll usually find their enviable qualities involve a certain degree of strength. So we admire these people, wishing we, too, could be as strong as they are. Yet each of us has inner strength. This strength defines us as we are and makes us different. We cannot share the same amount of strength in all areas of our life--mental, physical, and spiritual--because we are all different. Let us think back over the events of today and find our inner strengths. We may work well with people; we may be a good employee or student. As we look around our homes, we may find further clues--handiwork, a tasty meal, flourishing plants, a set of weights, a shelf full of books, a completed crossword puzzle. If we spend less time envying another's strength and look instead to ourselves, we will have more time and energy to develop our own inner strengths. - From Hazelden Meditation Series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
