Nobody likes to feel weak. In fact, we all try to hide our weakness to show we’re strong and can prove ourselves. What can we do then, when our weakness spills out except retreat inwards in self pity?

How do we endure the pressures of life? Financial strife, relationship breakdown, mental health struggles?

But how do we line this picture up with our experience?
