Inner Strength

"Although men are accused for not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps as few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of." -Jonathan Swift

So often we are self critical of ourselves, finding fault in our talents or abilities. I am not sure why that is, but I do hear it often from various people. We take those 'deficiencies' and analyze them over and over again. The weight given to these faults is much more then the inner strengths that each of us possess.

We forget that strengths mean as much if not more in our lives then do the faults. But what does happen is that we allow those faults to overcome and beat down that inner strength.

Take your 'vein of gold' and use inner strength to build your life. You will be amazed at how it changes your life. Moving from the 'half empty' to 'half full' mentality of attitude. You do have talents; you do have inner strength that you can build upon.
