FRIDAY THOUGHTS #197: BORN TO FIGHT

Born to fight.

There is no easy route in life, none. Life is a fight, either you fight the good fight or lay down your weapons and allow life to win the battle...either way you're in a fight, whether you're fighting back or not. You're in a fight...and the moment people can truly recognize that is the moment that get on the offensive and start planning their defensive strategies in order to win.

There is no easy route in life, none.

Life will constantly punch you in the face if you don't learn to keep your hands up, dodge and punch back. Life will constantly beat you up if you don't learn self-defense to protect yourself. Life will always manhandle you like a "victim" if you don't learn to simply fight back.

There is no easy route in life, none.

Stop expecting it to be easy without doing hard things first. Life gets easy, after doing hard things. You either endure the pain of discipline or the pain of regret, it's that simple. You will not escape it. Pain is inevitable, however, it can be on your own terms if you endure the pain now so life can be easy later.

Endure the discomfort until it becomes comfortable.

You were born to fight. You were made to fight. Heck, I'd fight every day if needed. You were made to fight the good fight of faith. You were made to fight for what's right...and you were made to know the difference between a battle that's not worth your energy as well.

Yes. Life is a fight...but it's also enjoyable. Life is also beautiful. Life is also full of so much love. Will you fight for what you love? You should. Fighting for that kind of beauty is always worth it. ❤️

When it's a battle that's worth fighting for, fight to the death, literally. When it's a battle that's not worth fighting for, discard it and never speak of it again.

Fight on and fight good. I see you and I'm proud of you. The world needs what you have, continue doing the inner/outer work and give it to them. #keepgoing
