You didn’t find strength when you couldn’t live without it. You found it when you had someone or something you loved so much that it forced you to stretch the edges of yourself further than you thought was possible.

About This Quote

We all have a perception of what we need to be strong. Sometimes, we have heard someone say that they need something to be strong. They believe they have no strength without it. And they are right about their perception.

You don’t need something to be strong. You need someone or something you love so much that it forces you to stretch the edges of yourself further than you think is possible. There is strength in being able to love and care for someone so much that your life becomes better and better as a result.
