Journey of Life

20160717_192229

It struck me as odd that in journey of life;
our true strength 
often rises when we are

at our weakest point. Night blooms soft as
sun swells up and sinks with faint caress.
These moments rare with such thoughts
then I did cherish.

  2. I think that you will find, as I have, that the greatest lessons I learned in lived were those learned during times of the greatest hardship. No doubt, you’ve already found this to be true but as life goes on it is painted in strokes of the boldest color.

    Quite true. Maybe it’s because at the top, we’d already feel strong. at the bottom, we’d need it most of all, to return to the peak.

    At our weakest time the inner self can be so strong, and sometimes strong enough, with time, to blossom into something wonderful. I really liked this Sanaa

    Absolutely beautiful! Strength rises in times of weakness — this can be so very true. And it also makes me think of partners — spouses — who lean on each other in times of need. One stands tall when the other lists…

    our true strength often rises
    when we are at our weakest point

    Our resolve can muster the strength to counter any adverse situations. Life’s journey is a struggle to survive with lots of hope. Powerful words Sanaa!

    When we are our weakest, we find strength that we thought we didn’t have, it is called the human will or our ability to transcend. A reminder to enjoy the special moments in life.
