What do you do
when your battle chooses you?
What do you do
when something shows up on your door step
that you did not directly cause
choose,
or definitely anticipate?
You've been stabbed by supposed
You lay in the bed, rustling with ghosts
of what ifs and maybes and suppose
and I think, and I heard, and I felt,
and you wake up tired in the morning
because you might have slept, but you didn't rest
Cause all in your sleep you've been fighting,
Deciding to decide to act
It's a major, major challenge for all of us
at different points in different areas of our lives.
And there are things that happen to us
along the way, experiences that we have
that prevent us
from working through the mental block of acting
of doing those things that we know we ought to do.
There's no event.
It's an accumulation
of lots and lots of little things, that anyone by themselves
is innocuous and useless.
But if you do it consistently,
and you do it in combination
with lots of other little things,
it's those little innocuous things that you do
over and over and over and over
that matter the most.
See, we don't have the courage
and that's what it takes courage.
It takes guts
to do that what you know you need to do
If you don't have the courage to act
life many times will move on you
and make you act
Life will whoop your butt so bad.
You will be so miserable.
You will catch so much hell
You say Yes
I will do it.
What do you want me to do take me
When you're consistently good.
When you are consistently true
to your word and to your values,
when what you say and what you do
consistently measures up,
and that there's a sense of cohesion
in your thoughts, and your words,
and your actions, and your questions,
when all of it comes together in a consistent way,
then all of a sudden the people say,
I buy into that person.
It's worth
giving yourself a chance.
It's worth
mustering yourself up, standing up inside yourself.
It's worth fighting relentlessly, never giving up.
It's worth it.
You can do it.
You can do it!
