When did you become weak?

I was having a very candid conversation with someone and telling them my truth.  As we conversed, he said to me, "can I ask you a question?"  Me being who I am, I replied "you can ask me anything you want."  He then asked, "when did you become weak?" I had a loss for words.  Tragic . .huh?  I asked what he meant.  He went on to give me many compliments.  You're beautiful, you're educated, you're funny, you're a good mom and a good person from what I know, and I have known you for over 30 years, I don't know when you became weak so that's why I asked that question.  I really had to think about that question because I had no idea that I was weak.  "When did you become weak" played over and over again in my head.  As the conversation progressed he explained that the only way a person becomes weak is because of the heart.  Then I understood!

When did you become weak?  That's a question that we have to ponder often times because when you think of it from a physical strength it doesn't compute for many.  When you encompass the heart . . or emotion . .we are all susceptible to weakness.  We do things to appease others and to make sure that no one else becomes weak while losing our own strength.  Emotional strength is something that will continue to build but it's also the one strength that is easiest to loose if you don't preserve it.

When did you become weak?  Was it when you gave all your existence to someone who wasn't deserving, yet you believed in them?  Was it when you allowed someone else to dictate your happiness based on their ability to be happy?  Was it when you gave up your continued victimization in order to allow them to be the victim, yet they were the perpetrator?  Was it when you stopped your life dreams in order to support someone else's dream?  When did you become weak?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question.  It's merely about self-preservation.  Weakness is described as the state or condition of lacking strength for textbook purposes.  Where does your strength lie?  Continue to build emotional muscle so that you're ready to take on the world!  Life happens to the best of us and we have to be ready to put ourselves back together after we have a brief . . yes brief . .moment of falling apart.  Like one of my favorite icon says "Sometimes things fall apart so better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe. When did you become weak?
