"Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations." ~ Zig Ziglar

I feel strong on the days when I wake up with gratitude and appreciation.  Starting my day focused on what is good in my life and what I have to be thankful for always makes for a day with less stress and anxiety, regardless of what the day might bring.  I feel strong when I can empower and encourage other women by being positive and uplifting.  I know that Life is literally bursting with possibility and it feels good to share. 

I feel strong when I can speak my truth in a heartfelt and authentic way.  I feel strong when I realize that after everything I have gone through and am still going through, I can hold my head high and know that I have done enough.  I am proud of myself for being strong.

I feel strong when I allow myself and my needs to matter.  My heart and soul need to be taken care of as much as I need to take care of others.  I feel strong on the days when I remain focused on the positivity of love and hope and leave behind the negativity of struggle and pain.  

I feel strong when I realize that my willingness to talk about and embrace my imperfections has helped someone else be courageous.  So much beauty is found in our lovely quirky imperfection.

I feel strong because I know that my existence in this Universe is no accident. 

Every day, I fall, somedays more than others, but I always get back up, because I am strong.  I feel strong because I can rise above my limiting beliefs and tell a whole new fabulous story about my life.  I feel strong because I believe in the magic of the everyday.  What makes you feel strong?

Happy Saturday!
