Finding Your Own Inner Strength

Finding Your Inner Strength

This morning as I lay in bed, I watched as the wind blow with such velocity. The trees were being tossed around like they were rag dolls and it reminded me of our own inner strength. As a tree is blown around, it doesn't think about what might happen to it. It doesn't wonder or worry if it will survive. In the midst of chaos, it stands with it's roots planted firmly in the ground, trusting and knowing that "this too shall pass."

As a survivor of domestic violence, it reminds me of the time I had made a conscious decision to leave and never look back. I, too, had felt the powers of the wind. My tree was blowing and I felt it would snap in two in a moment. Deep within each one of us, there is a core. This core is our balance, it's our center, one could even say it's our own "trunk," our pillar of strength. However, somewhere along the line we had lost sight of our own inner strength and we find ourselves feeling weak, dis-empowered and possibly hopeless.

One of the ways in which our abuser controls us by making us believe that we are powerless, that we have lost our inner strength and that we cannot live without them. Usually it starts with verbal abuse or mental abuse as we become continually bombarded with statements that we are lazy, worthless, selfish, among others. Over time, we begin to believe it and then we own it. From here, day by day, our inner strength fades, we become hopeless, our branches may break and lose ourselves in the storm.

Your inner strength lives deep within you. It is always there even if we feel we've lost it somewhere. Finding your inner strength is finding yourself. You reach deep down within you and plant your roots solidly, deep within the Earth. Feel yourself connecting, feel yourself gaining your footing. This is where it begins, as you gain more confidence you awaken your inner strength. The more awakened you become the stronger your roots become.

I once heard an old saying many years ago "Grasshopper, be strong like tree." author unknown
