Live.
Live like there's no time left and don't ever give up because if you don't try,
If you don't use every single resource and exhaust every possibility,
Then can you really say it wasn't meant to be?
Surrendering has always been a last resort in war,
So why then do we so easily kneel to our inner demons?
Stand up,
Warrior.
Do what you think is right with all of your heart and when anything at all comes against you,
Do not be tricked.
Shame and self-criticism are not of you.
Sometimes fear is.
And it's okay to be scared.
You can do it anyway.
But not if you let the spirit of shame stop you.
Be ruthless against evil pursuits.
Be discerning when it presents itself falsely.
Surround yourself with people who remind you of who you really are.
Who hold you high and who will tell you the truth no matter what.
Forgive yourself.
Forgive others.
For the shadow of guilt haunts them too.
Trust God.
Don't fear death.
But always fight to live.
Help others and let others help you.
And never,
Ever allow yourself or anyone else to feel sorry for you.
You are not helpless.
You are a warrior.
