Not an option

Life is filled with uncertainty. Tomorrow is another mystery to be unraveled. Though the odds are stacked against us, they exist to be beaten.

It is not a good idea to get too comfortable. For it can all be so easily taken away. Every moment is a struggle for survival, one we may not win.

Courage is demonstrated when you do not know. If success was assured, it would lose all meaning. When failure is not an option, we fight harder.

We may not like where the winds take us. But we can no more stop them than we can the rain. One must learn to use such forces to their advantage.

Rage against the tempest, and it will wash you away. But there comes a point when the tide does turn. When the time comes, you must be prepared.

Experience will be your tutor. Understand that what you do not know can hurt you. React accordingly, and fight until you can no more.

  1. Courage is proven when we are caught off guard but do not falter. Giving up is not an option for those who care enough to give it their all. The unknown is irrelevant if we are steadfast and true in our path.

    1. The unknown is just that. It could be to our benefit or detriment. Since we cannot be sure, we do what we can and do not worry about anything else.

  2. Odds were not meant to be beaten. There were never supposed to be odds to begin with. To accept how the world works is another way of perpetuating it.

    1. One cannot live in denial and expect to be successful. We must recognize the world as it is. Then, we can work to make it better.
