Forward

Just trudge onward
Do not merely survive
Do not just endure
Thrive amid the chaos
Take the poison of the moment, turn it to the remedy of a lifetime
Remember that pain is the seed that grows great power
Remember your true potential shows when demoralization reaches its apex
Persevere

We are stronger than we allow ourselves to be. We will rise to the occasion and challenges set before us. Nothing should perpetually conquer us. We should all be resilient, take whatever kicked you in the teeth and learn from that situation. Grow from the that scenario and not repeat our own history’s failure.  If we are never confronted, we will never know how strong a weight we can lift. When an instance comes about that quakes us to our core, we must rise above. Do not allow defeat to just set in, if plan a fails or falls through try plan b or c or goddamn double q if it goes that far. Failure is merely success training. This article was not meant to quote every high school guidance counselor’s poster but as a means to raise up our readers. Adversity can bring out our best, if not in the moment maybe once the storm has calmed. Just keep fighting guys.
