Enjoy this poem on Strength, Courage, and the Beautiful Balance Between Them.

Life is a constant balancing act. We often hear that we need to be strong, to push through, and to keep going no matter what. But strength isn’t always about toughness or holding everything together. Sometimes, it’s about being gentle with ourselves and others. Sometimes, it’s about having the courage to ask for help or to show up in our most vulnerable state.

This poem is a reminder that strength and courage aren’t opposites—they go hand in hand, creating a kind of quiet power that comes from living fully, embracing both the tough moments and the tender ones. Let this be a reminder: it's okay to be both strong and vulnerable. It's okay to feel uncertain and to lean into your courage.

It Takes Courage

It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

In the moments where you feel unsure or small, remember: it's not just strength that will get you through, but also the courage to stay true to yourself and open your heart to what life offers.
