Finding my Inner Strength

The athletes in the Single Leg Amputee Sports Association in Sierra Leone are an incredible embodiment of strength. The organization was started by Mambud Samai in 2001 after he returned home toward the end of Sierra Leone’s deadly civil war. “We try to give them hope and the credibility that they are useful. They are important to society.”
“When we meet tragedy in life, we can react in two ways: either by losing hope, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.” - the Dalai Lama
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I use the adversity in my life as a source of strength. Where there is a sense of loss or heartbreak, I go deeper into my spiritual resolve and feel the urging of Life to step up. I know that this experience is my platform to live more fully. The Divine within me is my source of good, and I move forward with assurance. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
