Strong enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Strength lies within our limitations
deep inside

there is an openness
undestroyable

Strength is eternal
even when we seem powerless

Strength can be found in surrendering
instead of giving up

Strength is trusting
in life as it is

Strength means believing
in our inner values

Strength is standing upright
against all odds

Strength wants us to go ahead
on the path which feels true

Strength is connectivity
jumping across divides
closing gaps
building bridges

Strength is always there
when we really want to find it<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
