What keeps you wanting to get up each morning to face a new day? What keeps you a strong person day by day? My children and family keep me strong. I look forward to a new day to spend with my loving family. Overcoming my hardships keeps me strong. If I can get through the hard times, it makes me a stronger person. Hope for the future keeps me strong. I am always hopeful of days to come knowing that good things will happen and I will succeed in life. What keeps you strong in life?

I am a dreamer who believes in changing the world one person at a time...I believe that God only helps those who help themselves and that, what does not kill you makes you stronger. I believe whoever told you life is fair, lied to you; That one should never let others narrow or degrade one's soul, by making us hate them; and that if you stop complaining you can start living and appreciate how blessed you really are...I believe all things happen for a reason, and that lessons are repeated until they are learned(so you better learn fast!) But the most important thing I beleive in is that we only live life once, thus we must make everyday count...live your life the way you envision it, change what you can let go of what you can not and dont waste time trying to change others.

before, i have to be extra strong for my children. i am glad that i am quite over that stage now. my first two children have already graduated and i do not have to worry so much about them anymore. my youngest, a son, is also showing good signs of recuperation. he is very much healthier now and apppears to be doing better each day. these days i have happier waking up days. each morning, there aren't so many things to worry about anymore. i am hoping that there will be more of these non stressful days coming...

It's my faith in God that puts me in the front line of life's continuing endeavour. By trusting Him each day I wake up gives me the strength to accomplish the things I want to do the whole day for my family and friends. The promises He kept while I am in His care make me highly spirited to overcome whatever difficulties or sufferings I may encounter in life. For I know He won't gie things that I cannot handle. For i am convinced too, that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phil.4:13

I would have to say hands down my kids keep me strong. Whenever I feel like giving up I just have to picture their faces and I know quitting is not an option. They push me more than anything else to succeed. cheers,

What keeps me strong in life is Jesus Christ Himself. Every moment of my life I am so thankful because I know that each day when I'm awake my strength is renewed every morning through Christ who gives me strength and new energy to face the day with it's glorious things and not by facing the day of bitter challenges but rather a life's challenges that motivates us more to live a life that full of wondrous blessings and opportunities to every people. I just really thank God for always being there and keeping us strong when the time comes for us when we do feel our own weaknesses then that's when Jesus Himself strenghten us more and more when we just call up to Him for help and guidance.

What keeps me wanting to get up each morning to face a new day is MY FAMILY. They are the source of my happiness and strengths. Without them life is meaningless. They inspire me so much, they always believe in me, they are my first believer that I can make great things. They always support me in my decisions and have faith in me. When I stumble and fall they're always on my side, theyre my helping hands and crying shoulders.. So they are the reason why I want to wake up everyday, with new Hope and struggle my dreams to come true because they Do believe in me.
