There is a Difference

Between being “strong” and having strength

Between looking “hot” and being beautiful

Between acting “brave” and having bravery

Strength will get you through the hardships in life,

It lets you bend under your circumstances without breaking,
And enables you to hold on when all you want to do is give up.

The child fighting leukemia,

is stronger than any war hero or bodybuilder.

Beauty says: “I do not need all this makeup; I’m perfect the way I am.”

It looks in the mirror and sees her personality, her smile, and her heart,
Not the wrinkles, gray hair, or pimples.
It steps on the scale seeking a healthy weight, not size 000.

 

The woman comfortable in her own skin,

is more beautiful than any runway model.

Bravery is having the nerve to stand up for what you believe in,

It's continuing on despite the odds,
It's trying something even if it seems impossible.

The dreamer who chases his dreams,

No matter what the haters say,

Is braver than the daredevil who pushes the limits.
