All of us at some point in time may have experienced stress, fear, panic attacks, etc. We may have also struggled discharging our duties at home, at work and in the society. Whatever may be the situation, the past year has been, no doubt, a difficult year for all of us. We should also realize that most of us have dealt with this unexpected and unsettling crisis rather well.

Inner strength is the building block of the individual. It is the inherent motivator. Inner strength is what gives us the ability to make and follow through on decisions, to persevere and to get things done. It is resilience, perseverance and tenacity. It means inner fortitude. It expresses itself as assertiveness, courage and the ability to withstand difficulties and obstacles.

Resilience is an important test of our character and an essential ability that lets us meet life’s challenges. Whenever we feel like times are getting tough, these quotes will remind us that we can, we must and we will, get through this.
