Most empires collapse not from external forces but rather cracks from within.
  People are much the same and we falter from weakness of character, vision, or
creativity.
  We struggle, often looking around us for reasons or excuses, yet deep down we know we must look inside for answers.
  A kind word or thoughtful gesture from others can help with the motivation, but we need to go deeper and find the momentum and vitality to build yourself up from the inside out.
  Focus not on the facade but on personal strength, physical orotherwise, andcontinue to nourish and fortify the elemental structures of your self.
  You know you will be better off because of it.
