There is no real partition between mental strength, physical strength and emotional strength. All three support one another and when one is improved so are the others.

We think the reason strength isn’t promoted as the foundation of healthy living is just a basic confusion over what strength actually IS.

Strength is personal and comparison is where the truth gets confused. Sometimes it takes strength to speak up for yourself and other times it takes strength to keep your mouth shut. Sometimes it takes strength to get a physical task completed and other times it takes strength to know you need to ask for help rather than abuse your body.

Strength can be used as a push or pull, the choice is always yours. Strength is about you personally and how you best handle each new situation in life.

The definition…the meaning is simple:

“Strength is what keeps you together when other things try to pull you apart.”

It takes mental and emotional strength to build physical strength and physical strength can make you mentally and physically stronger.

Forget strength as just aggression and power. Strength is as much if not more about supposedly average ability being able to overcome…the supposedly mediocre not giving up.

ALL illness begins where weakness allows – strength is what protects you and allows you to be protective of other things.

Be well, be strong,
