how does an introvert survive to thrive?

I’m an introvert.

Introverts have an edge in today’s society.

We’ve invested a great deal of time in SILENCE.

We know our strengths and weaknesses intimately.

We don’t demand nor do we require attention.

I learned at a very young age to listen to the endless criticism and then check its’ truth within myself. Years of reflection affirmed I am not less than others but rather express myself differently. The criticism became a form of critique as I grew. The physical abuse strengthens you. You adapt to tolerate and grow. You listen to your heart with unwavering resolve.

You begin to see life in all it’s contrasts. This is your power.

You are unique. When put to the test you work harder to overcome adversity where many give up. You’ve built your stamina from life’s repetitive blows. The barrage has produced the opposite of the intent. You have not succumbed, you’ve been strengthened.

You know your True Self. In many circumstances you are the voice of wisdom.

Each of us is at our own stage of unfolding and you may be at the very lowest you have ever been in this moment... persevere...listen to your heart...know this is passing and you are whole, always.
