Enduring the Unendurable

This week, let's talk about the real meaning of strength. It's not about how much you can endure until you break; it's about how much you can endure after already being broken.

Life is both the easiest and hardest thing we'll ever experience. We often measure our strength by what we can tolerate—the weight we can lift, the pain we can push through, the bad day we can get past. But true strength reveals itself when you've been pushed past your limits and still find a way to keep going.

Think about it. Your muscles break down and tear after a hard workout, and that's exactly when they grow back stronger. The same principle applies to life. When you get knocked down, when something truly breaks you, that's not the end. That is when your real strength is revealed. Most of the limits we put on ourselves are not real. We are capable of enduring more than we believe, of getting past the hard times, and of coming out the other side changed, but not defeated.

The goal isn't just to get through the hard times. It's to find out what you're capable of after you've been through them.
