June 21st, 2005

From my Livejournal, which has been with me since 2003. A nice post to remember on occasion.

People are fighting battles every day. Maybe it's drugs, maybe it's love, maybe it's with death, maybe a missed opportunity, maybe sickness, maybe unhappiness, a bad decision, their past. But on every single day that someone loses their battle, someone wins. If today isn't your day, get up ready to fight tomorrow. At least you've got that chance.

Sometimes you're fighting with yourself, and you can't win that kind of battle in just a day. Many nights, you may go to bed defeated. Many nights you may collapse worn and exhausted. But you'll wake up every day with another chance to win. So why stop fighting? It won't get any easier if you're submissive to something you can be powerful over.

I hate to see you hurting.

There have been MIRACLES in the history of our world. Spectacular things have happened against all odds and with everything going against them, including logic, reason, and life as we know it. There are things in life that seem like they need a miracle, but maybe it just takes realizing that when you put all the positive things together in one pile, what you're looking at is indeed a miracle. If nothing else, it's enough. Embrace it. Thrive on it. Live by it. And most importantly, remember it.

When you do, you suddenly wonder what ISN'T going right. That's a damn good feeling. Best of luck.
