Weakness drives us to set goals, to try harder, to put forth more effort, to dream and wish and hope, to reach out further and down deeper, to pray earnestly, to cry mightily, to understand and empathize with valid sincerity. In truth, weakness is a catalyst for greater strength.

About This Quote

I have been called a lot of things in my life, but this is the first time someone has called me a coward. I have been a weak man for a long time and I have been told that my weakness is what got me to where I am today. This is the first time that I have understood why I am weak. I am weak because I don’t understand the power of weakness.

In the world of sports people usually say that strength wins out in the end, but as it turns out, weakness does. When we are weak we grow stronger.
