Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory.
We all have our moments but let us remember that in weakness there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to work at it is proof of your victories as a human being.
A strong spirit, strong faith and strong attention are all skill worth developing. Within these is personal victory and the world of Buddha hood.
Peace and Love, Jim
