As Swami Vivekananda has rightly pointed out, “Strength is life, Weakness is Death”. Mental strength has always been a very important attribute for mankind to succeed in life, to have a smooth sailing without succumbing to the travails of life. The only way to release frustrations is to constantly expose yourself to positive thoughts, and not to weakening and paralysing ones.
If one analyses a little bit, we will se that the cause of all crimes in this world is weakness. We steal, we kill, we lie, we beat up people not because we are physically strong or because we are deceptive by nature but because we are weak. If we can feel from within that we are strong and no one can do any harm to us, we would never pre-empt any harm to others. Thoughts which elicit weakness make the mind morbid, and ultimately make it impervious to truth. The one thing that I have learnt the hard way is that if we can accept responsibilities for our own fate, without blaming others for our misgivings, it gives us tremendous inner strength. However it is a natural human tendency to blame others, and that causes a lot of misery to us. That has happened to me numerous times also.
Just like happiness, strength has to be generated from within ourselves. I have seen my mother as a pillar of strength even at times of ultimate stress and sorrow. She derives all of it through her unwavering faith and belief in God. It is also absolutely true that if we keep brooding over weaknesses, remedy would not be achieved. In these tough times, thinking of strength and being positive always helps. Some people are gifted with this rare talent of staying positive. This is really a rare gift.
