There's only so much time, and honestly, we all need to start using it wisely.
Life can turn on you so quickly. It's amazing how it seems to do that at the worst time possible. One second you are standing straight up and everything is going great and the next you are on your back. But without these moments, how would we be taught the importance of getting back up after we've fallen?
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.
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.
But for the brave and courageous, you have to get back up. You have to know your reasons why you are doing what you are doing because life will constantly knock you back down. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for the world.
We need people in this world who will dedicate their lives to inspiring the lives of others. We need these people because we live in a society that promotes personal success rather than the success of the collective. What if you could raise the lives of all of the people around you? What if you could take a stand for everyone instead of just what is possible for yourself? You could be something that would be remembered for all time.
So, what is the decision you're going to make?
Live your dream.
