When you a see someone smile…

Posted on by Widow with wings

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m not crying on the inside.  Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean everything is ok.  But just because I’m hurting on the inside doesn’t mean that I should walk around with my head held low and tears in my eyes.  Wearing a smile means a great deal to people, especially when things aren’t going so well.  A smile can hide all the bad that is going on underneath, but it also can show the world that the bad hasn’t won.  When you smile you show you’re still in the game…you’re still here and you haven’t  been beaten.  It shows your strength, your dignity, your pride.

A smile makes you feel good if just for a moment and that feeling may be exactly what you need to get through the day.  To have people look at you like your ok, like they don’t pity you or your situation….trust me that means a lot.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. – unknown

This is my daily mantra these days.  People ask how am I doing what I am doing; I don’t think I could do it; how am I getting through all this.  And this is my answer, over and over, You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.  What else is there to do?  One foot in front of the other and you just keeping going.  You do what you have to do and you don’t think twice about it.  We are all strong.  There is an inner strength in each and every one of us.  Sometimes it doesn’t show up until we need it most.  The important thing to remember is that it does show up.  We as humans are not wired to give up.  We want to live, we want to thrive, we want to continue on.  What gets in our way is our own thinking.  Our brain starts to spin and we spiral out of control in our thinking.  This turns and turns until negativity and weakness appears.  It overrides our natural instinct to keep going; to be strong.  No matter what you are going through, no matter how horrible your situation may be at this time, you are strong and powerful in your own world.  You can make it through and persevere.  It is up to you to ruse above the negative thoughts and allow your natural instinct of strength to rise out of you and let you shine.
