Strength is but a mindset. If you convince yourself that you are in fact strong, and you truly believe it... you will be strong.
Absolutely nothing happens to us that we do not prompt or permit; you are in complete control of the decisions you make, and the kinds of decisions you have the option of making.
If strength is what you desire, practice it as if it were already yours and you will never falter.
I do it because it's right for me. It's really the first time I've ever found something that is ME. Some people are natural athletes, some people are natural musicians, everyone has their niche... and everyone finds it at different points in their life. My niche happens to be Straight Edge. It is the single thing in this life that makes complete and total sense to me. It is the single thing in this life that I do not need to question, scrutinize, or wonder about. It fits me, I fit it... and so I have complete and total confidence in it. It's this confidence that allows me to be as proud as I am of it. And if you feel anything less than this, I can only conclude that maybe Straight Edge isn't as YOU as it is ME. Or you haven't grown into the full realization of it, yet.
