You Are Not Strong When You Rule Others, You Are Strong When You Rule Yourself

​You are strong when you realize that you do not want to express your frustration and dissatisfaction with someone else because you know that you will not achieve anything with it, and moreover, you will only miss many beautiful opportunities to live together. ​

You are strong when you stop thinking about who should take care of your life and when you realize that you are responsible for what you are and what you can be, and you make the decisions that will make your life better.

You are not strong when you rule others, you are strong when you rule yourself. You are strong when you stop comparing yourself to others knowing that each of us is different and that being better in something than the other person does not mean that the person is not better than you in something else. You are strong when you stop using excuses to justify yourself why you did not persevere, why you were not consistent in what you thought was important, why you did not master the last bit of power but surrendered when the life got tough.

​You are not strong when you rule others, you are strong when you rule yourself. You are strong when you leave the problems to the past knowing that there is nothing you can do and when you leave the worries of the future because that time has not yet come. You are strong when you get rid of all the need to please others constantly and when you realize that you do not have to react to everything instantly because some things can wait, the longer they delay the better they will be dealt with.

You are not strong when you rule others, you are strong when you rule yourself. You are strong when you realize that it is better to spend time alone than with someone you don't like, because you understand that people cannot give you what you need. You are strong when you realize that you do not have to put up with other people's burden because you would not burden others with your problems, so you decide to make a distance. You are strong when you can choose your future without endangering anyone and living the best you can in your life.
