Quotes On Strength Novels & Stories

“Hindi naman kita pinapaalis, ‘di ba?” Umupo siya sa tabi ko, at sandaling tumahimik kami. Parehong pagod, parehong puno ng iniisip. Pero ngayong gabi, sapat na ang presensya ng isa’t isa. “Elle…” simula niya, mahina, “…you were strong back there.” “Hindi ako strong, Zian. Takot na takot ako.” “Exactly,” sabi niya, sabay tingin sa akin, “Being strong isn’t the absence of fear—it’s standing firm despite the fear.”

Dinuraan niya ang larawan. He never saw anger as a weakness. To him, it was power—raw, burning, and necessary. It was the fire that forged real leaders. Not like his brother, who always chose calm and diplomacy, but the kind who waited in silence, calculated every move, and struck with precision when the time was right. Kinuha niya ang framed quote na nakasabit sa dingding. Galing pa ito sa business mentor niyang Intsik sa Shanghai. "The tiger who waits in the tall grass lives longer than the lion who roars at dawn."

My heart is troubled, but I am fully trusting you to give me the strength that I need for the days ahead. God, I come to you for strength—strength for my body to keep pushing, strength for my mind to keep going, and strength for my soul to keep living. I need your strength to stand strong in the midst of situations that require much of me. God, I come to you for help—the help that I need to face every adversity that crosses my path. God, please give me the strength that I need today so I can see another tomorrow. God, I am very tired. My heart is tired of pumping love to give. My brain is tired of producing the wisdom I need to think positively. My eyes are tired of crying tears every night.

Laking tuwa ko nang dumating siya sa piling ko dahil may karamay ako sa hirap at kaginhawaan. “Mommy, can I request?” Tumango naman ako. “Huwag kang mapapagod na mabuhay. Maraming nagmamahal sa `yo. Hindi mo lang nakikita ang iba, sapagkat patago itong ginagawa. Ayon pa nga kay Albert Einstein, 'Life is just like a bicycle, to keep it balance, you need to keep on moving forward'.” Napangiti na lamang ako dahil sa mga ginamit niyang quotes mula sa mga tanyag na mga nilalang.

When I look in the mirror, I see strength, learned lessons to my whole life and my pride in myself take down to hurtness. It is SACRIFICE!

Kulang ang salita upang ma-idescribe ko ang hirap na pinagdaanan ko sa murang edad palang at kung hindi pa siguro dahil kay baby Walter ay wala na ako dito sa mundo dahil sa ilang beses ko ring pagtangkang kitilin ang sariling buhay. Pero dahil sa anak ko, nagkakaroon ako ng lakas upang bumangon nang bumangon at labanan nang labanan ang lahat ng hamon sa buhay. He's my greatest strength. Just a simple smile from him makes me so strong like nobody else. Just a simple 'mama' coming from his mouth when he calls me, makes me so bless kahit panay matitinding pagsubok nalang ibinabato sa akin ng buhay.

“But when they see who you are becoming, when they see you walk past that bastard with your head held high, they will shut up.” “I’m trying,” sagot ko. “But it hurts. Not because I still love him—but because he took everything from me and still made me look like the failure.” “You are not a failure. You’re the strongest woman I know. And you’re not alone anymore.” Napapikit ako at huminga nang malalim. “Kailangan ko lang maging matatag,” bulong ko. “You already are,” sagot niya. Tahimik kaming nagkatitigan.

Marami pa akong sinabi sa kanya at talagang nakinig lang siya sa akin, kitang-kita ko sa mga mata niya na walang halong panghuhugas ang mga iyon. "You're so strong, I admired you a lot for being so brave. Not everybody can do that, some can't handle that kind of pain. That can handle trauma, some are still stuck because of the past that they are still living and haunted by," he seriously said, he's like saying all those words by experiences.

"Naisip ko lang. Sya ang tipo ng tao na gagawin lahat para sa taong gusto at mahal nya." Totoo nga. Saksi ako dyan dahil kahit inaapoy sya ng lagnat kagabi ay tinulungan nya pa rin ako. "Pero iyon nga lang... That's also his weakness." "Alin?" "Na handa syang gawin ang lahat para sa taong importante sakanya. Love is a strength but also a weakness especially for him."

Mas lalong bumigat ang pakiramdam ko. Hindi ako nakasagot. Kasi parte sa akin… Alam kong tama siya. Pero hindi ko kayang tanggapin. “Althea…” mahina niyang sabi. “Hindi ka na yung dating ikaw.” Napatingin ako sa kanya. “You’re stronger now.” “Exactly,” sagot ko. “Then act like it.” Tahimik. “Strong people don’t run,” dagdag niya.
