Affirmation for June 26, 2014: A Strong Will
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.- Henry Ward Beecher
Thought of the day:
Whether you're moving to a new location, starting a new workout routine, getting used to new treatment, or making a significant change in your life, there will come a time when you need to call upon your strength of will.
Whatever your challenge is right now, just think: "push, push, push," and fight to stick with it. You will come out the other side a stronger you.
Have an energetic Friday!

Well from what I have seen on these forums when you do have a strong will even then, people still have something bad to say about you. So that sounds nice and all, but sometimes people see strong will as being a real bitch.
True madashell0007 but for me reminding myself why I\'m being strong is important. It helps me to take care of me. Also, the feedback from other people is good while I think I am having a strong will, I may be hurting people unintentionally.
I don\'t think having a strong will has anything to do with hurting others at all.
A strong will means you are doing what you need to do to protect yourself. You live your life not others. They don\'t see everything, and to make a 30 second judgement on a persons character, to me, is not necessary. I have seen it time and time again, people and their egos. If you don\'t do what they want you to do, they tell you well you might as well cancel your account with DS what is that? How arrogant to think that your advice wasn\'t taken so now I have to cancel because of you? Give me a break. ok I guess I\'m just rambling now so sorry i\'m just trying to say my point of view, but I respect what your saying and respect you as an individual as well. Thanks for your input.
