Inner strength is a trait that goes all too often forgotten. People always talk about strength in the physical sense, but have you ever thought about how strong you are emotionally?

Everyone has inner strength, whether you know you do or not.

Of course, you don’t get this inner strength by lifting weights.

You get it by pushing through heartbreak, loss, and all of the other bad stuff life hurls at each one of us on a regular basis.

While it can be easy to bulk up your inner strength by learning what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to tending to your negative emotions and by reaching out to help others make their way through life with a little less stress, it can be just as easy to feel like you’ve lost this strength, especially when it seems like things suddenly take a turn for the worse.

Being emotionally strong is no walk in the park. In fact, it can seem downright IMPOSSIBLE some days.

I know I've personally gone through just about every kind of stress, loss, and heartache you can think of over the past year. If inner strength was something you could see, I’d look like frickin’ Arnold Schwarzenegger back when he was a body builder.

How is that possible? Because I am a force of nature.

And guess what? You are, too! And no, you’re not allowed to argue with me on this one.

I know you might be thinking to yourself, “There’s NO WAY I have inner strength because fill-in-the-blank-bad-thing happened to me and I can’t even roll out of bed in the morning without feeling depressed anymore.”

And if you do say that to yourself, then I already know that you’re wrong about not having inner strength.

Here’s how I know...

Inner strength isn’t about waking up every morning with a smile on your face and a skip in your step. It’s about waking up every morning, full stop.

It’s about finding the strength to go into work, even when you can’t bring yourself to shower or brush your hair, and make it through the day.

It’s about being brave enough to ask for a personal day and take care of yourself, even if that means doing nothing but lying in bed and watching Netflix all day.

It’s about keeping your chin up and powering through the tough times in life, even if you cry in your car sometimes when there no one around to see it happen.

Heck, it’s also about letting yourself cry in front of someone else when you don't have that chance to have your breakdown in private.

THAT is what makes you a force of nature.

There is no rule book for life, and when you have to make things up as you go along, that pretty much gives you the green light to do whatever you need to do to make it through in one piece as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else.

And you know what else that means?

It means you’re buff as hell… You know, if your inner strength had muscles, that is.

Of course, if you need some extra help flexing (okay, I’m done with the weight lifting analogies now, I swear), then here are the 20 BEST quotes about inner strength that prove you’re a force of nature to be reckoned with.
