THE STRENGTH WITHIN

You need to rely on your inner strength to help you throughout the day to

make the right decisions in your life, but what exactly is inner strength?

Well, the smart students at Slimmons know exactly what it is!

" It`s the ability to stand by your beliefs regardless of whomever or

whatever comes against you. "

" It is the compilation of all my life`s experiences, the good and the bad.

It`s the reminder of everything I have taken on and how I`ve gotten through

it all. "

" Inner strength is my core belief in myself and my values and knowing that I

am a valuable person on this planet. Inner strength is feeling like you are

facing an insurmountable obstacle that you can`t possibly overcome, but you

dig deep and overcome it by doing what you have to do. "

You have to know we all have this inner strength inside of us, and it must

be nurtured, but how? Here is some more of my class`s wisdom.

" I have a personal philosophy of never quitting. I have faced some pretty

difficult situations in my life and gotten through them by looking and

focusing on the good and tackling the bad until it becomes good. "

" Whenever there is a task I don`t want to do, no matter what it is, I think

about the positive outcome that will result and how good it will feel once I

get it done. The pride of accomplishment keeps me going. "

" Sometimes I think of my mother, who has gone through a lot in her life, and

how strong she is, and that makes me strong, too. "

" I never forget how far I`ve come. I`ve become so strong, both emotionally

and physically, and it`s because I believed in myself enough to know what`s

right for me. "

How`s your level of inner strength? If it`s not where it should be, work on

it this week! Every time you eat healthy and exercise, you are building that

strength and fortitude inside your soul, and that will get you through

life`s big and small problems!

Love,
