I Didn't Know My Own Strength

The strength to fly.
The strength to climb.
The strength to crawl.
The strength to laugh.
The strength to grow.
The strength to learn from your experience but what others call your mistakes.
The strength to know.
To lose touch with your soul…
It’s not until you are tried that you discover your own strength.
Whitney said,
I didn’t know my own strength.
I crashed down and I tumbled
But I did not crumble.
I got through all the pain.
I didn’t know my own strength
To every human is given an indelible amount of strength to make it through whatever it is that’s seems to be stopping you. You are the unstoppable force and there is NO immovable object.
Get Whitney Houston’s unreleased single, I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

J.P. thank you once more for saving me. As I literally sit here researching ways to quickly and painlessly commit suicide, I had a thought to go to your blog hoping that I would get a sign to just hold on and not commit such a selfish act being that you inspire me in so many ways totally un-relating to H.I.V.
I do feel that I have crashed hard but not crumbled.
I love you and thank you.
J.P., that is so beautiful.....
Now I see myself as a gift to the world, partly because of my strength that I share. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. lol
I love you to PX7
