Most of us do not realise it, but we all have a latent amount of strength that we can tap on. Mind you, I’m not talking about physical strength, but rather the emotional and psychological strengths that we have.
Take an example, of putting a brave front and facing a bunch of friends after a heart-break. When all you want is to crawl into bed and stay there. It takes strength to face them and to reassure them that you are alright, when clearly, your emotions may be tumultuous inside.
Or for you to smile in the office everyday, and to try to do your very best, in the face of retrenchments happening in other departments.
We all have more strength than we know.
And we build this strength from past experience and mental toughening, and draw more from external sources such as the love showered by friends and family.
It takes a lot of strength to do certain things, like calling a tough customer, knowing that you will get screamed at.
But this strength may be bolstered by courage, and the moral responsibility of doing a right thing.
Draw on your strength today, and if you need more, you know where to look for it.

As much as I loathe Harry Potter, I think Rowling phrased it very well when she said that courage is not a lack of fear, but is what lets you do the right thing even in the face of fear. Or words to that effect.
Btw, zomg big fontzorz!!
