Day 70 of wisdom
“I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.”
Aristotle.
The world have witnessed strong, valiant men who have conquered nations, territories, and cultures, they have through strength and organizations, subdued kingdoms, but have been brought down, and destroyed by the things that cannot measure up to their level of strength, such as, ladies, drunkenness, and reckless attitudes.
True strength is not in victory over an army in a battle, or conquering an enemy in a physical fist fight. True strength is found in being able to tame your desires, and put your flesh under control. True strength is in doing the right thing at all times, no matter the pressure to do otherwise.
Strength of character and attitude is the best form of strength any man can possess. Nelson Mandela overcame the urge by his comrades to fight back, and revenge what their captors did to them. Martin Luther King Jr. showed the strength he possessed by choosing only dialogue, and peaceful rallies in the fight for the emancipation of the black race, and minorities, which eventually came to pass even after his death.
Anyone who desires to rising to the peak of success must be ready to overcome self, and willing to tame the desires of self gratification, for the greater good of achieving their dreams, and visions.
“The playground of strength, and bravery is not on the battlefield, it is within you.”
