Strength in the Face of Fear


Strength is not only in the physical

but in overcoming obstacles despite our boundaries.

 

To dream and to have vision is to

summon the strength to accomplish that vision.

Which is why vision and strength go hand in hand.

 

To have vision requires power.

One must be powerful enough to stand firm

and to say no to the naysayers.

 

Dream and vision cannot exist without fear.

Our willingness to overcome them determines our willpower.

 

Fear then becomes the river that has the power to destroy not only our vision

but strength and power.

 

When fear aligns with our vision, we become lost in the chamber that is our mind.

 

We become forever lost in the web of doubts

unless we decide that our dreams can be realized when we face our fears.
