"Behind strong people there is a story that gave them no choice!" (Paulo Coelho)
Strength is often mistaken for something innate, as if resilience is simply a trait some are born with.
But behind every strong person, there is a story—a story that gave them no other choice. Strength is not just built; it is forged in the fire of solitude, in the silence of battles fought alone, in the weight of burdens carried with no one to lighten the load.
Many will see the strength, but few will understand the suffering that shaped it.
They will admire the unshakable presence, the unwavering resolve, yet remain unaware of the nights spent breaking before rebuilding.
They do not know the moments when giving up felt easier, when hope was a distant flicker, when the world seemed unbearably heavy.
True strength is not loud; it is the quiet endurance of someone who has stood in the storm, felt its fury, and learned to walk through it anyway.
So when you see a strong woman or a strong man, do not assume their path was easy.
Know that their resilience was not a choice, but a necessity. And if you, too, are walking through fire, know this:
you are not weak for feeling the weight of it.
You are becoming.
And one day, your strength will be the story someone else needs to hear.
