life itself is a struggle, a unending quest for everything that we should have. it is a fight that we dont know if we end up victor or victim. life i could say is like a beam of light passing through a spectrum that reveals its many color like a rainbow, color that is invisible yet they were there with you..people who haven't seen what life and its goodness are easily get dripped off and carried away with life challenges, problems and difficulties, and some ventures to a way of no return and end their life as if they just put a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence..this i may say is life's realities, and if you dont know how to face life's battle you'll end up like others who have committed suicides and other things. in life you got to have a staying strength and courage, a life force that will make you survive, stand and overcome life's struggles, you have to have a source of your strength to easily carry life's crosses..as for me i can't live this life without God, i can't live this life without him, he is my rest, my peace, my joy, my strength and my whole life.. how about you where do you get your strength to go on with life?

I think that a lot of my strength is derived from people who push on from even worse things than me. I mean they are truly an inspiration. Despite all of the hardships that life has dealt us, there are going to be a lot of people who are really going to go through life, moving forward step by step. There are many potholes and many roadblocks, but they find ways around them. If they could do that, then why can't I? So indeed, I really feel as if I am going to do what I can do to get a lot of things done in life. I pull strength from the fact that as bad as things can be, they could be worse. And I have the ability to make the things that are happening now be better. I just really feel as if I need to push forward a little bit of a time, bit by bit and ready to get a lot of things done. Strength tends to come with inspiration.

the power of the mind and the power of the word that we say will help you through. if we filled our mind with inspiring words and concepts this will eventually turn into strength that will drive you to go on with life's difficulties

I would have to say God and my children. My children are what drives me to work 3 jobs so they have everything they need and can attend the better schools. It exhausts me but I know it is the right thing to do for them. My faith keeps me going in times of uncertainty and hard times. It gives me strength.

we have no right to decide whether we live or not..it is God who have given us this life..an opportunity to prove that we are worthy to be in his kingdom... sometimes we are really weak and unable to cope up with problems..yet with God we can ask for strength to face it and move on ...GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME indeed:)

hi arnoldream! I really like your post :) I get my strength in life from my family and from my dream. Life is not good all the time but the negativity passes by depending on how you nurture or ignore it. I am a very positive person, I don't really give attention to the negative details in life. I want to see the positive side of everything all the time. I draw my strength most importantly from God. Without prayers, I cannot survive the odds. Good morning! :)
