A strong person vs. A person of strength.

A strong person works out every day to keep their body in shape ... but a person of strength builds relationships to keep their soul in shape.

A strong person isn't afraid of anything ... but a person of strength shows courage in the midst of their fear.

A strong person won't let anyone get the best of them ... but a person of strength gives the best of themself to everyone.

A strong person makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future ... a person of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong person wears a look of confidence on their face ... but a person of strength wears grace.

A strong person has faith that they are strong enough for the journey ... but a person of strength has faith that it is in the journey that they will become strong.

"I can handle anything that life throws at me - I may not be able to handle it well, or correctly, or gracefully, or with finesse, or expediently -- but I will handle it."

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
