Strength

Over the weekend my dad lent me a copy of Tony Robins “unlimited power”. I took it out after work today and opened it up to page 64, the page my dad had left the bookmark in. I don’t know if he intended to give it to me with this page marked.

First couple paragraphs are interesting; it speaks about believing in yourself and if you believe you will fail, you will. If you believe you will succeed, you will. There was a quote that I liked:

“Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees.” J. Willard Marriot

Thought this was a really interesting perspective. It’s along the same lines as “A box that is easy to open, holds no treasure.” but I like the idea of strength. Strength of the body. Strength of the mind. Strength of your potential.

Just like a tree blowing in the wind. The resistance of the wind is like your adversaries in life. The challenges. The tide against you. Fighting for it day after day makes you a stronger person.

I like that.
