How Do You Find Inner Strength (My Experience)
For example a person will need inner strength to beat cancer, live through s terminal disease, fight depression, live through trying times and tell the stories of how they overcame. Truth is inner strength comes when all hope is lost and itrespt of the fact that not everyone experiences it, it comes when there's a underlying reason as to why a person needs to stay afloat rather than sink. This reason might come from family, a loved one, who needs you to survive a difficult process and come back to them.
In my case, I've been on the brink of death before and on the brink of losing my sanity due to family problems. But my inner strength comes from the fact that I love life and I love freedom and I have hope. One thing that scares me the most is being deep down the rabbit hole where it's going to be difficult for me to crawl out, so the idea that I might totally capitulate beyond redemption is one of the reasons why I find the inner strength to persevere. I feel that one can only be saved when they're still beyond redemption and hope is Only functional when there's means for salvation.
