“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.” ~ Alex Karras

True Strength is not mastering your desires — true Strength is altering them; shifting them from yourself to others.

We expend so much energy trying to “get healthy” (live a long life for ourselves), “look good” (attract a lover or a partner for ourselves) or “be successful” (attain popularity or material comfort for ourselves) — and yet we so often fail to realize that real Peace & real Joy cannot ever come to us from these sources.

Lasting inner Peace & deep-seated Joy only come to us when we engage actions designed to bring OTHERS better health, to bring OTHERS deeper Love, to bring OTHERS real success …

Strength doesn’t come from what we do — it comes from WHY we are doing. All choices made for ourselves ultimately make us weaker — all choices made for others always make us Power-full.

Strength is being Kind to strangers …
Strength is forgiving our enemies …
Strength is willingly sacrificing for loved ones.

Here’s to your Strength …
Be STRONG today!

LOVE is a verb …

… got LOVE?
