How Strong Are You? Surprisingly, most don't realize their true inner strength until their backs are against a wall and they've completely run out of options. For some, initially panic sets in, followed by desperation and lack of faith. Some even find themselves settling for less due to their fears, insecurities or non-productive, addictive desires.
What if your life began with complete uncertainty and your nature persuaded you to take unnecessary risk? You know, “Rebellious!" What if your kindness was constantly being taken for granted? What if what you wanted most, seemed to always evade your grasp, and you had enough to get by, but never enough to get ahead. What if you were humiliated, degraded, abused and lead astray? What if you had it all, lost it all, then amazingly… Re-gained it all back again? What if you were Marie Antionette? What if you were A Girl Named Job?
