“I’m not blessed because it all went right. I’m a warrior. I’m blessed because I’ve got fight.”*
My life has definitely not gone the way I planned. But I’m still blessed. I’m blessed because I have so much for which to be grateful, in spite of my missteps and mistakes… and my downright failures.
I now realize how critical it has been for me to be a fighter. Every step of the way, I’ve had to dig deep and find my fight. It was either that, or give up… settle. But I haven’t been able to do that. It’s just not in me.
So here I am, taking up the fight again.
I haven’t yet finished what I set out to do in my life. I’ve been distracted by fears, problems, the dramas of other people, the long-term consequences of my past actions, and my own lack of focus and confidence.
When I was younger, I figured by this point in my life I would be all set, have all of my accomplishments behind me, no more questions left to be answered.
How boring would THAT be?
The “Iris & Lily” novel series that I co-wrote with @angelascipioni is about the fight. Fight for what you want, fight for what you need, fight for what’s right. Fight for each other. Fight for love.
And fight for the dream. It’s not too late. You’re not too old. It’s not too hard. It’s nowhere near impossible. My fight has reinvigorated me, re-engergized me, and all things are new again.
“I’m not blessed because it all went right. I’m a warrior; I’m blessed because I’ve got fight.”*
🕊 & ❤️
