"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength." - Anonymous

Define: Strength

Someone once said that someone's worst experience is their worst experience. Each person has a different threshold for pain and regardless of how easy or hard it is for them to get through their roughest times we should all be patient for each cloud has a silver lining. It's a cliche of a statement, but we all need to endure some level of pain because without pain there would be no compassion. Everyday is a new day and if we choose to submit ourselves to the turmoil we only sink ourselves to a deeper ditch. Behind each catastrophe is a gift waiting to be found.

We are all secretly on a mission to find a place in this world and figure out who we are. Some try to find it through drugs and alcohol, some try and find it through the voice of others, some try and find it through girl after girl or guy after guy, some try and find it through their self-inflicted busy schedules, some try and find it through the hundreds of school books they believe will define their life. In reality, none of that will give you the right answer, who we really are is found in the strength within us waiting to come out and fight the challenges the world brings us. We can all handle whatever comes our way, all it takes is a little more "Woosa" and a little less pride. Of course it's not easy to face some of things that come at us from left field, but we don't have to go through it alone. It's not a sign of weakness if you get to that point in the road and you just don't think you can make it any further because when you get to that point it's up to you to scream "uncle". When you get to that point there will be someone willing to walk with you the rest of the way, everyone secretly has that one person who's rooting for them. Why try and save face and make your problems bigger when there's someone who can lead you to the finish line?

You can only sweep things under the rug for so long before people will see start to see the pile...
