How’s your will? You
know, that inner power that we all possess, which has the potential to stand
and hold firm no matter how the outside world tries to influence it with our
diligence and practice. We can control
it, the world can’t influence it if we have dedicated ourselves to gaining the
power, we just have to reach inside of ourselves and grow it. We are responsible to work at harnessing it,
to harden it, to make it like iron to withstand any obstacle.
The world moves fast and with how fast technology has
advanced over the past few decades there is this looming feeling that we all
can control the world around us. We can’t
control the uncontrollable, but we feel like we are now capable of it. We’re convinced of it. And we’ll do everything in our power to
prevent something bad from happening and you know what? At some point something "bad" will happen. But that’s what this life is filled with. This is where we have the power to make the
best of a bad situation, to impose our will, to take it on the chin with a
smile, wipe the blood away and learn from it, grow from it, and harden that will
from it. Because if we have the will to
withstand anything this life will throw at us we’ll have the power to be happy
no matter the situation.
Once we are able to realize that we can’t control other people
or control the events that take place in this life we can live a happier
life. We can control our perceptions. And controlling our perceptions is far easier than even thinking of being able to control people or
things. This is our will. Our will allows us the opportunity to have us
a punchers chance in this life to flourish no matter the situation and be glad
when we encounter a punch to the face that stuns us, that fills our mouth with blood. That’s
the point where we really learn what we’re worth, where we get staggered, have
to take a step back, gather our thoughts and charge back full force into this
life. That’s how are will gets tested. Always remember that just because the world
knocks you down, doesn't mean that it’s got you beat. Just get up, refuse to stay down, keep
getting back up, always get up, you owe it to no one but yourself to get up.
There is a point to the saying, prepare for the worst and
hope for the best. If you always prepare
for times to be hard, when they become hard (which they will at some point) you’re ready for
it. And you’ll be the one shining while
others weather away. Certain things we
can’t ever change or control in this life, know that, live that, so when one of
those things happens, we are able to look at it objectively, know that we did
our best to try and stop it, but we were unable to stop it and know that everything happens for a
reason. Again this is another great
opportunity to shine where others will lose themselves and not be able to persevere. Because that’s what we do, we already made
the commitment to keep moving forward, to keep getting back up, so we’ll persevere
off of our ability to get back up and get back in the fight.
And what lies behind mountains? That’s right more mountains friends. Keep climbing.
Keep Calm and Tank Up.
