Strength is not covering up a challenge so that there won’t be panic. We all have those moments when something unexpected throws us for a loop.
Sometimes, it’s quite serious. Sometimes, it’s a threat to our health or even to our lives. We might be immobilized for a moment, and we might take a little time to ponder our next steps. Yet, we often find all the fortitude within ourselves that we need, augmented and energized by support from the people closest to us and from professionals who lend expertise and assistance to guide us through the passage. Those people are our cheerleaders: the ones who will stand by us, knowing and acknowledging the gravity of the situation and knowing that their help will be essential to our ability to live and thrive. That is strength.
