12 QUOTES ON INNER STRENGTH


‘The sun shines not on us, but in us.’- John Muir

‘We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside.’- Joel Osteen

‘What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.’- Otto Rank

‘It always surprised him when he thought of it later that he did not sink under the load of despair’- Chinua Achebe

‘Dig deep and empower yourself today. Stand in your inner strength. Be uniquely you.’- Amy Leigh Mercree

‘I think that generally, people of the world typify a ‘free and wild’ person as someone who’s uprooted, detached and uninhibited. But I don’t believe in that kind of freedom. I think that’s an infantile concept. Freedom means something when it has escaped something! Those people who escaped things- their inner cages, cages set by others around them- when those people are able to roam free and say, ‘This is who I am because this is who I choose to be’ ; THAT is freedom. Freedom is being so smart that you develop a strength strong enough to break free and become your own person. A better person than what your circumstances would like to define you as.’- C.Joybell

‘Write your dreams in a journal, notebook, card or a cork. When you pen down your dreams, an inner strength, a divine power is activated for you to work towards the fulfillment of your dreams’- Lailah Gifty Akita

‘You will meet many opponents in your time that will come face to face with your flaws, trust the chaos, pain and confusion is the pathway to break open and become free.’- Nikki Rowe

‘It’s essential you create a fiery will from within- harness that power of decisiveness- and choose to be your strongest self.’- Karen Salmonsohn

‘Life’s trials will test you, and shape you, but don’t let them change who you are.’- Aaron Lauritsen

‘The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.’- Thomas Paine

‘Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.’ – Mahatma Gandhi

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

NERVOUS TIME: CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND TIME

Although the nervous system is a pretty tangible mass comprising nervous tissue mainly, and time is quite intangible; there are pretty astonishing facts that they seemingly buttress in spite of their clear differences. Taking a break from our series on hearing right, we observe the astounding similarities between the nervous system’s component, the brain and time. 1.       Both offer you a grand choice : You  can decide to either fritt away or invest your time, as much as you can choose to waste a large part of your brain while shying away as much as possible from doing anything remotely mentally-exerting. 2.         Memory: The common phrase “Time will tell” briefly encapsulates the fact that time really, does manage to bring up decisions, actons, words of the past to stare into our faces. The concept of memory (which time makes use of) isn’t any stranger. Memory storage occurs in the brain; and certainly, in the hea...

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
