You have a reason to be strong because your strength is not yours but God’s;
We are strong because we are not shallow in what we want to achieve;
Because we not only believe in luck and all the good thing in life;
But because we believe in cause and effect which are but seasonal;
Now, you have a reason to be strong.

If your mind tells you that you are scrawny, refuse and say, “I have a reason to be strong.”
Work towards a mind that is at peace with itself and at peace with everyone else;
Work towards a mind that is not focused on harming others in any little thing;
Then your mind will be stronger than any physical force in the universe;
Now, you have a reason to be strong in peace with others.


You have a reason to be strong because struggles nourish courage in any circumstance;
You can never be strong is you only have wonderful thing in everyday’s life;
It is not about winning any battle of life experiences or settling for less;
It is about going through hardships and decides not to surrender;
Now, you have a reason to be strong when you don’t give up.

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress of their lives;
People who can purpose to labour and grow brave by reflection of what they want;
They know that Strength of character means the ability to overcome;
Who have ability to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly in faith;
They always tell one another that, “You have a reason to be strong.”
