May these quotes about Strain inspire and motivate you.
There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.

They are just noises, and even when
added up all together
they have no value, make no sense.
Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.

You will become a child again, reborn.

just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."
