Inner Strength

"Worry does NOT empty tomorrow of its troubles

It empties today of its STRENGTH"

Corrie Ten Boom

We had a fun weekend, photographing little figures for my other blog Inch High (see link) which we'll post soon. I took this picture of a Storm Trooper doing a plank and as I'm not so good on my core muscle workouts, I marvelled at the apparent inner strength this position implies even in a plastic being. This is a display of physical strength and my quote today suggests that our constant fretting can rob us of such wellbeing.

However, it can also cause us not to try and therefore we can stay stuck, somewhat like my little plastic friend - waiting for someone or something to move us on. I believe that our inner strength, (not our muscles but our inner being) is strengthened most when we overcome that which we thought we could not. I'll leave you with a quote by Kurt Warner that sums up what I mean better than I could. "If you're willing to put yourself and your dreams on the line. At least you'll discover an inner strength you may not have known existed." I hope you find the inner strength to rock up to the challenges you face.
