About the nature of Strength and Resolve
Feel some strength returning.
Alike the starving man discovering food
Raise yourself above the ground
Alike a criminal seeking redemption
Think Freely, unclouded by vice and desire
Alike a lighthouse peeking through the fog

Relinquish the agony, but be sure to feel the pain.
Discard the despair, but embrace the sadness.
Calm the Rage, but channel the anger.

Accept who you are, but never give in to what your not.
Change with the tides, but do not fight the current.
Move freely in a caged world.
Hold on while all seems hopeless.

In a world of evil and corruption only those who can weather the storm can find happiness.

Strength does not reside in the body or mind.
It emerges, in obscurity, from the heart.
Everything else is an illusion.

Learn not to break under the pressure, the grief of this life.
Instead bear its burden.
Allow yourself this and you may yet be released from it.

Learn not to be resolute and take the blows.
Instead fall, be beaten, be defeated.
Allow yourself this and you may yet stand up.

Only those who can do so can be called strong.

Too Calloused or Too Frail
Too Meek or Too Stubborn
Balance is the Key.


Unclouded you must embrace what are.
Accept everything you cannot change
Work to change everything you can.
Stand and Feel your Worth.

In the End
Weakness is Strength
