The Struggle “The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” - Robert Tew What is strength? Strength is defined differently by every single person on the face of the Earth. I define strength as the willpower to go when you want to give up. It gets as simple as that for me. Everyday there is always a person you know wanting to give up. Maybe sometimes you are the person wanting to give up. I know sometimes, more often now than ever, that i want to give up. That I want to just stop living, but I keep going. I keep going for my family, because my sisters need me. They are all the happiness I have left. I do not want to leave them in this deep, dark and dreadful world we call life. The struggle I go through is,

Hearing words of encouragement like this have kept me here at DePauw and have kept me going when I wanted to quit.…

    Pat Riley, an American professional basketball executive, once stated that “If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.” What he meant when saying this, was that people will surpass any challenge they are faced with and preserve to face any other obstacle.

To overcome an obstacle, people must focus on the obstacles they are faced with in order to not succumb to being part of the…

    People connect the word strength with being physically strong. Strength is know as the capacity to lift weights, or cause a knock out with one single blow. It comes from muscle-building and winning fights. That is why I’ve never considered myself to be strong, or able to show any strength at all. Being proven wrong, I have found that strength is much more than being physically fit; strength is showing courage when something terrifies you, its being able to defend your beliefs, or never giving up when things get hard.…

    Being reluctant to improvise could be a strength for me by my patients knowing that I will stick to the books and I would not do or try anything I was not comfortable with doing. Having the need to have constant acknowledgment is a strength in itself. I will always be trying harder and looking for that recognition from my superiors. Concerning the fact that I neglect my own needs, I will never have my doctors question my priorities because they will already know that I will be doing everything I possibly can. Having weaknesses isn’t always a negative in my case because this will only push me to be better and work…

    Strength is not something a person can define easily. I know true strength is not something that’s physical. It’s not who can punch the hardest or who can lift the most weights; it's a little bit more complicated than that. True strength is overcoming obstacles, being there for someone emotionally and physically, and being strong for other people’s well-being. Personal obstacles are the hardest things a person can overcome.…

    Does Strength Training Build You Up or Pull You Down? What is an aspect of caring for our bodies which is often overlooked?
