Your body is only as strong as your heart is.
I pondered on this thought that ran through my mind today and I believe it's true. What makes you stronger? What makes you have the courage to jump off a plane, start a new career or to meet someone new? What allows you to take a leap and do something you never imagined before? It's not your body. Your physique and personality does not make your courage. It may give you confidence to a certain level, but past that it isn't worth much. It's within you. It's in you. It's your heart which helps guide you and makes or breaks you. I am especially writing this one out of personal and first-hand experience on how the health of your heart can change you. Think about it, when you're happy and you just feel ecstatic about your life, you don't get sick; you stay healthy. When people are depressed and they go through traumatic events, they're more likely to get sick. It's like the inner voice within your body that is wanting to ease pain by shutting down the rest of your body and it shuts down your immune system. Scary, huh?
This past week has been a hectic and stressful one for me that I've wanted to get it over with. I had a not so great event happen on Monday night and it really made me sad and somewhat depressed about the situation. I woke up unwillingly to go to work or to be in a good mood. That day I started to feel sick so I went to my dentist in belief that it may be my tooth. No. The doctor said I'm perfectly fine, and just put numbing out stuff on my teeth. After yesterday, I thought I felt fine but apparently my body thinks otherwise. It's come down with a mix of strep and an unknown something which is not allowing me to eat anything. The pain's terrible and all I want to do is sleep. Unfortunately, I'm not quitter and thanks to my family, I've come to realize that your body will only be as strong as your heart it. I've been sad and moody lately so no wonder my body is wanting to give in.
You don't really know how much a person means to you until they hurt you and you find yourself wanting to get as far away as possible. It's kind of like the cliche of, "you don't know what you have till you lose it."
This is me saying that I love every aspect of my life and every wrong and right that's in it. This is me saying that I have to have a stronger heart and not let the little things hurt me so much so that my body will become stronger. This is me saying that sometimes too much is indeed too much and you have to put a halt to somethings. Lastly, this is me saying that just like there's downs in life, there's definitely some big ups and if you can make it through the low points then you'll be soaring high in the ups.
Now this is me going to bed to get some rest to prepare for the best week of my life.
