I often shut myself away for a while, but when ready to talk, friends are always there for me and support me mentally and emotionally.

Thats just it, willpower and determination, where does it comes from.
The strength to keep holding onto your faith, it all has to start from some where doesn't it?
Or is it that I'm just looking to hard. I want to know why I'm still here. Many yrs ago, I was close to death many times by my own hand. I'm not ashamed and I won't hang my head, but something, not someone, something inside me stoped me.
I'm happy to be here, and that part of my life is in the past, but I still wonder to this day why I keep moving forward.

Some people give up easy and some keep battling. Being stubborn helps to keep the fighting spirit alive....When the going gets tough ..the tough get going

one day i awoke...and i realized that my life was mine.
i also realized that it would be one hell of a walk up-hill, since i had made many stupid decisions in the past.
i took that wake-up call from myself, and i moved forward...beginning with a move out of town and all new friends. i challenged myself to always be truthful, even when it hurt.
i've succeeded...1995 was my worst year...by july i had lost my fourth child, had one taken away, lost six friends to death...including the suicide of the love of my life.
if not for the baby in my belly, i would have lain down died...so i also have to say that my children area big center for me...a driving determination.
i made a choice to always live in an ethically sound manner. to take responsibility for my own actions. to take my future in my own hands. this gives me my strength...the realization that things don't just happen TO me.

mother nature a glowing sunset and loud active thunderstorm a winter storm the reflection off a pristine lake the beating of the waves on the shore the rise and fall of the tide. the list is indeed endless, the only problem with these items, some just are nor always available...when you need the powerful blasts of light and noise of a thunderstorm you find solace in the reflections of a calm lake. course sometimes a bottle along with the above memtioned things can bring you thru lifes atrocities.

A song comes to mind:
I'm not afraid of dieing, it's the thought of being dead
Was it Willpower that stopped you?
Was it Determination?
Was it the Unknown?
Was it Fear?
Was it Courage?
Was it Attitude?
Where does it come from?
Individuality! It comes from within

My children and determination.
Whenever I have a bad day I just hold my children or just have to look at them and I realize I am very blessed to have two amazing and beautiful kids in my life and its enough to keep my determination up.
Good Post!

First and foremost that love comes in many forums,embrace what you can touch,and allow your heart to feel,balancing emotion is key.
Life and the journey it has taken me.
The ability to live and LEARN,taken with me much knowledge and foresight.
The exceptance of the beauty that surrounds me.
A calmness that now lives withen me.
Forgiveness and understanding,never forgetting,just seeing things in a brighter light.
Less is by far more,in more ways then not.
That I have today,work with it.......

Where does my inner strength come from?? Honestly, the fact that there was no other choice for me. All my life I've had to be strong or else I wouldn't be here.
You said this:
"Some where, sometime we all have been faced with some thing that has stoped us dead in our tracks, whether it's:
Death of a loved one
Cheating partner
Disloyal friend
Financial overload
Mental overload"
And about that I say-- I wish my life had minor concerns like that!!! Although-- I don't wish it either-- because if my life had not had been like it was, I wouldn't be so strong and little things like you mentioned would not be wasy to get through.
And no, I'm not belittling people who's biggest problems ARE those things-- because that is YOUR life and thats the path and journey you are on-- I'm just saying that with my experiences, those things are minor to me.

The death of a loved one is far from a minor problem in anyones life, the death of a loved one is a dramtic event and never leaves you...I know this because I lost someone very dear to me 7 yrs ago and the loss and the memories still haunt me....
As for the
Cheating partner
Disloyal friend
Financial overload
Mental overload
Yes I agree that these are minor problems and with time you can deal with them and even sort them out put as far as the death of a loved one that is a major thing and you cannot say otherwise unless you have gone through it

Here on CS, seems to be a younger group, so I ask you this very simple question.
Some where, sometime we all have been faced with some thing that has stoped us dead in our tracks, whether it's:
Death of a loved one
Cheating partner
Disloyal friend
Financial overload
Mental overload
The list could be endless. What pulls you thru, where does the strength come from?
