The most painful blows you do not see coming. Everything seems peaceful, but trouble is brewing. Though the shock may subside, you will not be the same.
When all is lost, we find our true measure. Will we persevere, or crumble beneath the pressure? The answer decides whether we are intact or if we lie broken.
Most will find the point where they cannot go on. Only a few can shoulder the weight of the world and press forward. This is where we prove our mettle.
Who can bear the heat of the crucible? The strong are forged in the fire, while the weak are reduced to puddles of goo. No one can put them together again.
Yet, the survivors do not escape unscathed. Such an ordeal leaves a permanent mark. But the alternative is to give in, and be ground into the dust.
If you stand up, be prepared to fall. But if you refuse to stay down, the wicked are mocked. All of their power cannot avail against one determined to rise.
What, are you kidding? Those are the best ones! Variety for a change! It's the looming and oppressive ongoing terror of a never ending 9 to 5 that's really drive you deep into the grave!
ReplyDeleteNot when the pain is on the inside. Then, you will long to return to the monotony of everyday life. But there is no going back.
DeleteThe weight of the world can seem like a great burden, but remember you do not have to bear it alone. Those who we care for give us the strength to persevere, love will always be the answer we need. Those who choose to take on the world alone are destined to be lost.
ReplyDeleteThose who choose to take on the world are fools. It is too much for anyone to handle. But if you care, then you will do it anyway.
