Life Muscle!

It may not feel like it when you are going through a hard time—but every hardship you go through is making you stronger.


If you exercise really hard to the point that you 'feel the burn' and the next day you're a little sore—you just made yourself a little stronger. If you do it again and again it gets easier because you have built up your endurance and capacity to work out harder. This is exactly what happens when you go through a tough time in life. The next time it won't be as hard because you built up your endurance a little the last time you went through a hard time.


Those trying times are our training for how to handle life. They are boot camp for your inner soul. Think back to times when you were in your 20's. Everything was BIG and problems were so AWFUL! You just knew you were going to die if things didn't work out how you thought they should. But, living through those trials is exactly what you did and in doing so you made yourself a little stronger. Your heart became more capable of handling the tougher workouts. You built life muscle!

What a great feeling it is to know that you are in condition and can handle anything life throws at you. You are in shape enough to climb that mountain that is laid before you. It may not be easy and it may not be the most fun—but realize that you are a strong woman. You have built up endurance over the years. Your heart DOES have the capacity to take you up that large struggle and down the other side. You can do it because you've worked out all these years. You've exercised your inner muscles and they are pumping the iron of this next hurdle. Trust in your strength. You can press some weight, dear one. So...fear not! You've got the muscle!
