We only have so much time to live.
It's amazing just how quickly things can change in this life. One minute you are on top and the next minute you are laying on the ground flat on your back because you had the rug ripped out from underneath you. But isn't this the way life always works? Completely unexpected?
We aren't as much defined by our successes than by how we reacted to our failures. We are defined by the decision to get up no matter what happened to us. While that decision may not be easy, especially if failure continues to happen over and over again, it is probably the most important decision we could ever make. Unfortunately, for some, that decision to get back up after they have fallen cannot be made because the pain is too unbearable.
What's the reason why?
Because the thought of going through that pain again is so horrifying that they would rather play it safe for the rest of their life. They would rather watch from the stands than get on the field. It's much safer in the stands. There's really no possibility of getting injured.
For those who have a vision deep inside of them and who understand that failure is part of the game, they know that they must get back up. They must do it because they can do it. They don't accept a single failure or many failures as a representation of who they are as a person. They just accept it as getting one step closer to succeeding in their end goal.
This world needs people who are willing to keep grinding despite the worst of the worst happening to them. This world needs people like you. This world needs those who are willing to sacrifice today for the betterment of tomorrow. This world needs everyday heroes, not celebrities, who are willing to stand for the possibility of those who believe in their dreams.
So what do you say?
Live your dream.
