Strength is not measured just by how many weights on a bar you can lift.
Strength is the ability to not only carry weight,
But the initial contact with it,
The initial touch and how u deal with it.
Preparing for, and imagining what this next step will entail. 
How you deal with the stress on your body.
How you pull through this temporary pain and discomfort,
To build yourself stronger.
Releasing this weight after letting yourself feel and taking pride in your achievement.
You did it.
You are strong the whole journey.
You were strong the whole journey.
You will be strong the whole journey.
