Is hidden within.
What is strength? Really? What is this thing called strength? Who is it that determines if one is strong and another is weak? By what right does a person have to simply make these choices for another arbitrarily? I think strength is something more than some people think it. Oh, there is the strength of arms. There is the ability to use the lance and bow, the bola, and to fight to protect our people. I don't think that is all there is to strength. If it were then there would not be some men that are leaders and others that are not. I don't pretend to understand it all, but I figured that part out.
There is a simple, and very deep, strength in the very act of just being true to one's self. There is strength in walking the path that belongs to you despite what might try to get in your way and veer you off of it. There is strength in so many aspects of life. This strength goes often unseen. There's one, I think he's stronger than many think he is. I know he is, that's better. I know he's far stronger than many give him credit for. I am going to enjoy watching them discover that within this man is a strength they never imagined. Somehow, I'll even refrain from saying I knew it all along.
“Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.”
