All of us have an innate inner power, which can be unseen during a whole life time if we are unable to look for it within us. It is grief, distress, fear, among other disturbing situations, that make us search for help, support or leads us into despair when we feel unable to cope  and want to give up life.
The serious disease I had about 10 years ago forced me to take a decision: to face and fight against it or to give up and run away from life. I opted to face it! I looked for strengths inside of me which were unknown up until that moment. I found some resistance in my pride and vanity. However, I was able to overcome the obscure moments when I decided to surrender myself to the Divine will, with humility and resignation. Thus, I found in faith and in the Divine justice the courage I needed to go through everything, filled with a positive energy that sustained me during the entire treatment and that, even today, I still cultivate in order to move forward in my pathway in life.
The Inner Power must be cultivated daily, with the practise of good attitudes and by controlling the defects of our ego. Only then we have a chance to be better people and less defective.
