Words of Wisdom

In today’s world, we often admire physical strength. But being a strong human being goes beyond physical strength. It means being strong emotionally and mentally. How we choose to use our strength is an important question to ask ourselves.
It was once said that greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
So, today, take time to think about your strengths and how you use them. Do you use your strengths to support others or to hurt them, to contribute to or to take from the world around you? Challenge yourself to choose the right use of your strengths.
With something to think about, make it a great day. The choice is yours.
