Find Your Strength

The poster says:  Strength does not come from physical capacity.  It comes from an indomitable will. — Gandhi

*******************************************

Strength moves us from a place of helplessness to being powerful.  Even the smallest child can have incredible strength if they have incredible will!

Our will – our truth deep within our Spirit – manifests so many ways, and yet we do not see how we are being strong.  We see others that are strong, and we remark on how powerful or willful, they are.  

Some examples are the will of people who are ill, to live.   Or, the will of someone to go to university and the most adverse situation.  Or, the will of someone who has different learning disabilities to learn to read and write, and then to write best selling books.   Gandhi is a wonderful example of the will of one man to make change. 

I think about our Ancestors and how they had the will to move from Europe or Asia to North America in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, and then hook up with a wagon train to travel west.  What courage and will!  

Is there something that you need to find the will to do?

You Don’t Know Until You Try

The poster says:

“It’s impossible.” Said pride.

“It’s risky.” Said experience.

“It’s pointless.” Said reason.

“Give it a try.” Whispered the heart.

********************************* 

I sometimes have the best moments when I am out walking my dog.  Today, I was contemplating whether to try something different in my life.  I have all the reasons that it won’t work.  However, my gut, or instinct, or heart, was telling me to do it anyway.

I wondered if I was being foolish.  Can we really learn a lot of new things at once just because it is our will?  The answer came back, “Yes, you can!  Thy will be done.”   For a moment, the silence was deafening.  I was not in the park.   And then slowly, the sound of rushing water came back.  I could hear the birds singing.  I saw the Sun.

I knew that I need to go ahead with this one new thing in my life.

Wish me luck!

Blessings,

Judy
