Be Strong. Stay Strong.

Two admonitions:

"Be strong."

"Stay strong."

Be 
\'bē\

Definition
:to have, maintain, or occupy a place, situation, or position.

The first admonition indicates a conscious and willful decision to be strong, to face whatever comes every day.

Used in a sentence:

I choose to be in a place and situation where I am surrounded by positive energy, love, understanding and support from friends and family.  In this place I am able to draw strength from within myself, to willfully decide to BE strong every single day.


Stay 
\'stā\

Definition
:to continue in a place or condition
:to stand firm
:to take up residence

The second admonition--to remain where strength is, to sustain it and continue to fight the good fight.

Used in a sentence:

In the most unlikely of places and from the most unlikely people, I am reminded to STAY strong, for my feet to be firmly planted on the ground, to make strength of heart, mind and body the house I live in,  to do whatever it takes to confront adversity in the face and be brave for as long as I need to be.

Strength 
Definition
: the quality or state of being physically strong
: the ability to resist being moved or broken by a force

Used in a sentence:

I will be STRONG and I will stay STRONG for you, Mom.

Maybe it is not only I who need these two admonitions. Maybe you, whoever you are reading this, in  do too?

I say to myself and to you, whatever you are going through,

"Be strong. Stay strong."
