You can tell
when you are making an impact. The ruckus usually begins after the truth is
discovered and the curtain is slowly opened.
Instead of well-wishers,
the only noise will be whispers of denial. As the focus expands and the message spreads, the whispers become a loud roar of threats and the attempt to ruin
your credibility begins. When the sound is deafening you've hit the motherlode. The risk is great and the reward is huge.
Most fold
their cards and go home.
The battle
has now reached the tipping point.
Those with
the guts, patience and passion push through it.
You've discovered the meaning of turning pro.
Suddenly,
the story becomes about the war, odds, obstacles and the effort. Everyone
has an opinion and the rouse begins.You’re a minuscule
hero of sorts.
The Giant
has been defeated.
You understand
success.
And now it’s
time to choose another battle and make a difference again.
This is a
true warrior!
What have you done to overcome a
battle and be successful? Do you fight for just causes to help others? Or do
you just surrender to fear? I’d love to hear your comments and thoughts.
Until
We Meet Again,

In major battles I have faced, the cause / mission was much bigger than myself. What happened to me is of no consequence, what mattered was what would happen if I DON'T win. I would like to add from personal experience, that victory doesn't always feel like victory. You still come away with the scars and pain of having been in a battle. In surviving, you live to fight another day. Victory is a lot more glamorous to those watching than those on the battlefield. The important thing to know is... is Providence on my side?
ReplyDeleteThat is so true, I have a few scars and winning isn't always the outcome. Sometimes the better option is to spread the word! Thanks, Jim
