Facing the World

Some days, facing the world is tough. When you're tired, broke, and overwhelmed, it's hard to find brave. It's hard to smile. To breathe. To function. Bravery is being able to admit that sometimes, life isn't picture perfect. Sometimes, we don't have it all together. It's what we do from there that constitutes bravery.
One small step, one shaky smile, one hug. Whatever it may be, just do that. Do that one thing, that shows the world you are trying. You are hanging on for dear life, because you are a warrior! You don't lay down and give up, you LOOK UP! Trust in the journey that God is taking you on, no matter what bumps you hit! Don't let the negative side of this world take over your thoughts, because that's when you miss the opportunity to grow.
I want to be able to tell others that yes, I walked through the fire and darkness, and I got singed a bit, but I made it to the other side-and oh, what beauty was waiting!!!!
So, my friends, don't quit. Pull that inner bravery out-and show the world what you are truly made of!
DEFEAT IS NOT AN OPTION!!!!!
