Strength vs Survival

Strength: the quality or state of being strong. Survival: the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances. People tell me that they consider me one of strength, that I have strength to be able to endure what I have gone through in this life.  But personally I just consider myself surviving.  I am pushing through each day the best that I can.  I get up, I go to work, and I clean the house.  There are some days where I have a moment or a glimpse of feeling normal and can feel happiness.  And then there are the moments where I am lying. I am lying about being ok and I am lying about being good. But what I am telling the truth about is that I am trying.  I am surviving, because I am a survivor! So if you are going through something in your life that is hard, push to be a survivor, because with surviving comes strength!
