Do you believe if we even think of strength we can become stronger?  I do. Strength comes from within – if you believe in it , you will have all the strength in the world. If you don’t,  you will be just another weak person. If we are fighters by  nature and do not easily give up , then this will hold true for all of us –  that we regain our strength when we are at  our weakest point, because we know we cannot go worst than that , we become strong every moment after that point. We all can find our strengths in our weaknesses, they are weaknesses because we think so and they can become strengths if we believe in our capabilities. This does not mean setting unrealistic goals but taking smaller steps each day to reach our destination. If we cannot run fast enough, just indulge in brisk walk – one small step a day can work wonder. 

I recently read a news about a girl aged around 7 years with prosthetic sports blade– she was showing off her new limb for the first time to her friends in the school playground , she was running, jumping and feeling happy and celebrating her new leg. This little angel whose name is Anu from Birmingham had to have her right leg amputated shortly after her birth, she wore a prosthetic leg earlier  but now she has bespoke pink sports blade which made her so euphoric. She can run faster now and can also do street dancing which she loves.

This news inspires me to be strong . Even a small child believes in strength, she did not think that she was missing her right leg. She just believed in the  whole lot of new dimensions that this sports blade brought to her existence. By getting a piece of prosthetic sports blade she multiplied her strengths. We can learn big lessons from small kids most of the times.The genuine smile is genuine enough to melt our hearts and harden our determination to be strong.

 Follow what inspires you and that inspiration will give you strength!
