Blunt Force Truth: There’s a huge difference between being tough and being strong. Being tough is what you get when you’re in effect rather than at cause. You get hurt, you get tough. Doesn’t mean tough isn’t strong. It takes strength to build walls out of the mighty blocks you put up. You get like steel-hard and cold. But what happens when those walls keep people out? It takes strength and courage to embrace vulnerability when life gets you down. To allow the emotions to flow naturally and embrace the lessons. It takes a strong person to embody the masculine and feminine within oneself. Strength is facing these challenges without making yourself hardened. For it is the water that carved its way through the rock. Strength moves mountains! Let your emotions be like water and take your walls down, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
