Life is like a fighting ring

Many battles are fought in life. Many styles and techniques used to defeat your opponent.

I want you to imagine your opponent. Is it the pile of dishes in the sink? The mountains of laundry to be put away?

Maybe it’s your job. A relationship. Yourself?

Whatever you’ve chosen to put in that opposite corner, your goal is to overcome, or even just survive.

Maybe today you don’t feel strong, you’re taking hits you normally would have avoided. So, do you have someone in your corner? Someone to wipe the blood from your face, patch you up and keep you hydrated?

If you said no, I completely understand. Even though I do understand (I’ve been fighting alone for most my life) I don’t recommend it.

Fight after fight, after fight, with not enough time to catch your breath, you are setting yourself up for a loss, and continuous losses. Sometimes it is unavoidable.

And sometimes all you need to take the edge off, is one person. Maybe they are way out in the crowd, but they are louder than anyone else. All you hear are their cheers and support. The fight will feel easier.

So find your cheerleader, whether they are close enough to wipe your tears, or far, far away and can lessen your fears, find them. You always need someone in your corner of life.
