I am Stronger Than Yesterday

You may or may nor recognize the title of the blog. If you can't put your finger as to where it came from, it is a lyric from Britney Spears' song "Stronger." Some are familiar with this song and others aren't. If you're not, then I will fill you in briefly. The song is about leaving a horrible relationship and finally feeling free. When I think about the song title, a different idea comes to my mind. I think about being strong in every facet of life, including leaving horrible relationships.

When I think about being strong, I compare myself to Bozo the Clown. I remember watching Bozo in a class one day. Kids kept pushing Bozo down, but Bozo always got back up. The kids couldn't understand why Bozo could pull himself up. Most people know that these kinds of toys have something inside of it that allows it to bounce back up.

If Bozo has something in him that allows him to bounce back up each time, then do people have something in them to bring them back up? If you look deep inside, there is something there. You may or may not see it. It is there, but it may be hidden. There's a possibility that the light hasn't been ignited. I think each person has something inside that brings him/her up each time a something goes wrong.

When you get knocked down, think about what motivates you to stand on your two feet. When you do, remember what motivates you when you feel like giving up. When you get up, you become stronger, wiser, and humble; you will be better for the experience.
