How much of life gets spent trying to change ourselves to be the person we want to be or get the things we want to get before we give up and settle for what comes more easily?
I suppose it depends greatly upon the individual who is being tested.
But there is an indomitable spirit that some men possess from birth, and some who discover it later in life. A spirit that never allows them to give up.
They fight, they scratch, they claw. Always looking to change and improve. I believe firmly that any of us can steal this spirit for ourselves and be better.
Nothing changes if nothing changes. It's up to you and me.
