Many people go through life trying to figure out who they are, what they believe, and what they want. To figure out all of that, it takes strength. Some may define strength based on physical traits, but strength is something more than that.

Strength is the power within you to be everything and anything you want. Whatever it may be.

Strength is what you build from past experiences. These experiences aren't the times when you breezed through life without a problem. The hardest moments in life are the experiences that build strength. The moments when you feel as if you've hit rock bottom. Those are the moments you find whatever is left within you to keep going. That is strength.

Strength cultivates itself in different ways. Strength is the power to say no. Strength is the power to forgive yourself. Strength is the power to forgive others.

But more importantly, strength is the power to move forward. To let go of the past and focus on the future.

Strength is the power to take control of your life. To remove all things toxic. To rejuvenate yourself. To empower yourself. It is the power to never give up.

Strength is the power to make your dreams a reality. To fight and work hard for what you want. To get your dream house. To get your dream job. It is the power to create the life you always imagined.

Strength is the power to try new things. To not fear falling down. To not care what the outcome is. It is the power to explore the unknown.

Strength is the power to remove fear. To accept there will be good and bad times in life. But to not let the fear overwhelm you. It is the power to live in the moment.

Strength is the power to admit defeat. To speak up. To be upset. To be angry. To be frustrated. It is the power to be vulnerable.

Strength is the power to stand up when no one else does. To not let others influence you. To do what you want. To do what you believe is right. To be the only voice in the room. It is the power to be a leader.

Strength is the power you create. It cannot be found. It cannot be bought. It is from within. It is power you use to describe yourself. It is the power to say who you are, what you believe, and what you want. It is the power to define.

Strength is the power only you can see. The power only you have control over. Strength is the power you have to be anything and everything.

Find your strength. Define your strength. Embrace your strength.

Because to be strong is to be powerful.
