We often think our strength comes from physical things like exercise, food, vitamins, and maybe even coffee. Yet is that really the case? Does our strength perhaps also come from the inside... from our attitudes, our beliefs, our moods. Those may have more effect on our strength than the things we do and ingest.
And our strength can also be diminished from the same sources... from the inside. There are cases of people eating poison, or being exposed to illness and devastation, and they are not affected. So, clearly the externals are not what kept them safe, but perhaps their internals... their attitude and beliefs.
When we reside in a balanced state of joy, of love, of acceptance of others, we are much stronger than when we come from an unbalanced place of misery, hatred, and of criticizing everything and everyone. So ask yourself... Am I feeding or draining my strength right now?
