FIGHT

I believe there are those that yield, and those that fight.
Those that cower, and those ready for a battle.
In truth- something in life is always going to get you down.
Disappointment.
Grief.
Struggle.
Pain.
All waiting at the next turn.
It seems to be that when life is going your way, and there's no gray cloud in sight- a downpour of terror floods your very soul.
What do you do?
Do you lock yourself inside?
Do you row through the steadily rising turmoil?
Nobody ever said this life was easy. Life is never constant.
We are on an ever changing path.
Sometimes it is clear and straight. There are no diversions or distractions. No forks in the road, no flashing lights to distract us.
Other times it is heavily covered with brush and vines. You may have to cut your own path, or choose left or right when there's a fork in the road.
Whatever your path may look like- it's YOURS. You hold the power to choose your destination.
Whatever you do, do not give up. Even when it seems you've come to a dead end.
STAND UP.
FIGHT.
We all go through these awful, nightmarish and rough times.
We feel hopeless. helpless.
The trick, my friends is to dig deep within yourselves and find the warrior. the scrapper. the brawler.
Hold your head up high, and throw a few punches. Do not let your story end in defeat. Sometimes you have to be your own best friend. You have to be the believer in you, when no one else can or will.
Believe in yourself and all that you have to offer, because I promise you are worth your weight in gold. You are worth fighting for yourself.
So here's your challenge:
FIGHT. Do not cower. FIGHT.
