Powering Through

On some days, we say we must “just power through.” We think it’s the powering that gets us through, but, usually, it’s the other way around. Strength follows from accepting our tough reality, and whether we feel powerful or not, remembering we’ll see the end of the day actually helps us get there.

Sometimes, you can spend a long time looking for something inside that may or may not exist, or you can simply look ahead, and the path will appear. After all, it is not strength that overcomes darkness—but light.
