"If you are looking for an Oprah moment from me, you are visiting the wrong fucking site! When life is kicking you in your fucking ass, you MUST have the right mentality to face whatever is in front of you. I concentrate all of my messages on this very thing. There are many feeds and social media pages dedicated to feel-good messages and photos - feel free to visit them! My feed will always be the same thing- about getting up, not staying down, and moving the fuck forward against all odds! That said, a lot of us are in search of the shiny medals, the framed certificates to hang on the wall, the next promotion at work that comes with a new title and bigger office, etc. While all of these things are great and they do make us feel good, the real reminders of our trials and tribulations are in the physical and mental scars that we carry around with us. They are the reminders of the battles we fought, the countless times we had to dust ourselves off after falling flat on our face, the physical and mental scars of being in an abusive relationship, the scars from having a learning disability, the scars of being cut from the varsity sports team.... obviously there are countless scars that we all have.
As I write this, it brings a smile to my face - not in a sadistic way at all but in the way that I know there are millions of people out there who have tons of scars just like me- both mental and physical- and yet continue to go forward, one step at a time.
Know this- we are all being tested. Whether you believe in God or not doesn’t matter to me, but at the end of the day, those houses, big bank accounts, medals, etc., won’t mean a fucking thing! You will be judged by the battle wounds on your mind and body and how many life miles you put on while you were broken.
Take great pride in knowing one thing- when life got hard for you, and you broke your foot in the race of life, you looked around, not to ring the bell to quit, you were looking for duct tape to wrap the motherfucker up so you could continue to move forward! Stay hard!" - David Goggins
