Strength is a good thing- there's the ability to bench press your weight, of course- or carry two kids up several flights of stairs. There is also emotional strength, and that's a far more difficult thing to build up. We get it from so many different places. I hear the term "inner strength" used quite a bit but even that is a product from others. It's from our education, and knowing that we have the intelligence necessary to maneuver the world. It's from our parents, and knowing that we will always be loved, no matter what we do or say. It's from our friends, who are there next to us in the hard times, saying "You are doing the right thing". It's from our children, who believe we walk on water- and the fear of disappointing them. It can be from the universe- from the people we have loved and lost, and from the beliefs they have instilled in us.
It doesn't matter where it comes from- it just matters that we recognize that we, as women, and as mothers, are stronger than anyone could ever imagine- that we have spines of steel and are ready to fight the good fight- for ourselves, and our children.
