Fortitude

There is a saying, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only option you have". That one sentence is a testament to human nature. When you are thrust into a situation that would seem overwhelming, the fight or flight instinct takes over. Early man would never have survived to modern man had he not stepped up to the plate to do what was necessary to continue on. I see this behavior every day and I am now seeing it in my family. Hidden strength rises to the surface when something is important enough to fight for.
