Personal Reflection:
Strength is often measured in muscles, speed, and endurance, but the truth is, physical power will only take you so far. When the body falters—when the climb gets too steep, the night too cold—it’s the spirit that decides whether you keep going. The spirit is forged in silence, in loss, in those moments when no one is watching and no applause is coming. The strongest people I’ve met weren’t the loudest or the most visibly powerful—they were the ones who had every reason to stop but took another step anyway.

Reflective Prompt:
When the weight of your challenges feels too heavy, what can you draw from within to keep moving forward?
