We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.

It has been a long time, I know but I have been busy, and life has been complicated as it always is. But never fear inspiration is back, because I know that so many people rely on my posts to make then happy :P but nevertheless I am here with a new one. The title quote of this blog is something I think everyone needs to realize. People spend a lot of time trying to show strength, do things alone and help the "weak". We define weak often as people who are emotional, who fall apart when bad things happen, or people who can't deal with the often horrible realities of life. But does being emotional and needing support make us weak? Absolutely not. All we do when we label something or someone as weak is belittle their existence and their feelings. Isn't being willing to admit our "weaknesses" a form of strength? I think too often we allow ourselves to be closed off and ashamed of our weaknesses, stunting our growth and relationships. Being willing to say "I need help" or "I am scared" is not always an easy thing to do but can create a connection with someone that is much deeper then anything we would originally suspect. That kind of connection is something very special, and though it is scary, it is not something that should be taken lightly or something we should be afraid of.

"Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work."


Maybe even more importantly then the connection that we can create with other people, is the dep connection and understanding we can create within ourselves. Self-evaluation and analysis is essential in being a happy human being. Knowing exactly how we feel, what we think, and the things we like and dislike about ourselves is invaluable. No situation, no action and no weakness is a bad thing if we can look at it, understand where it is coming from and understand what we want/need to do about it. For example, many people consider dependency a weakness. Independence is something everyone strives for and makes you a strong person. Ultimately though, not everyone is independent. It is just as important to some to have someone to take care of and take care of them as it is for others to be completely self sufficient. In the end it is more a matter of choice then a matter of whats right. I feel a little like a broken record in saying this, but here it goes anyway; In the end the only thing that is right, that is strong and that is meaningful is that you understand yourself, and that you are ok with the decisions you make. That is my inspiration for today: Understand yourself, be self analyzing, and do what is right for YOU. Not for anyone else. I will leave you with hat and some quotes, because this blog is VERY long, and sometimes quotes say it beter then I can <3

"Remember where you came from, where you're going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place."
