Reveling In The Fight

The good life is in the triumphs over our internal foes.

It’s in our unbeaten posture in response to failure.

It’s in our northward march in the presence of fear.

It’s in our drive to create something every day despite no one paying attention.

It’s in our centeredness while being surrounded in the mayhem of the world.

The good life has nothing to do with filling our pockets or possessing some shiny object or achieving higher levels of prestige.

The good life is about engagement. It’s about building up our soul through the hills and valleys of life.

Through challenges and conflicts and suffering and joy and romance and belly laughs — individually and arm to arm with others.

As overburdening and painful and bloody and doubtful as life may seem, we were made for the fight.

You’re more than capable of getting through every single bloody moment and climb out of it like the warrior that you are.

So, while others spin their wheels pursuing a flat, Chanel-scented dream world, be the one who revels in the fight.

Go out and release your unique brand of butt-whooping on conformity and materialistic revelry and unravel the true version of the good life.
