Vulnerable Strength

TODAY'S QUOTE:
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Sigmund Freud

The things that wound us also make us stronger. Overcoming obstacles demands a strength that has to be reached for, nothing comes automatically during this painful process. Limitations are most often self-applied and can only be removed in the same fashion. Determination to get past the past is the sharpest tool we have for digging our way out of any hole we find ourselves trapped inside of and the strength applied will determine just how long we will be stuck there.
It sucks sometimes to be in charge of such things, because it is so much easier to blame others for our issues than it is to take responsibility ourselves. We may like to use the blame game to gain sympathy or assign guilt, but in the end it always rests at our door. To me it seems much more sensible to just take my lumps and go forward no matter who was at fault to begin with. Hell, I would much rather climb a mountain barefoot than stand at its base with a rock in my shoe and cry about a blister that is stopping me from taking any steps at all.
Let your fears make you braver. Let your troubles make you stronger. Let blame be a thing rarely used and forgiveness be a guide out of the dark places we all sometimes find ourselves inside of. Weakness or strength is all up to you, and exercise is the only thing separating the two.
