WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?
<p>What exactly are you afraid of?</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000318721.jpg"/></p><p>When I was a child and had to witness a fight among other children, I always staked on the bigger child to win, for obvious reasons. As you may have guessed by now, that wasn’t always the case. I had a very small build myself, and I managed to beat up people physically bigger than me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometime in the early chapters of this year, I witnessed similar fights. And if you’re wondering why I took pleasure in watching children fight rather than separating them, it wasn’t a physical fight. I watched newborns, less than a month old, battle sicknesses with names so long they’d need years to learn how to spell them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Ideally, they should have lost, abi? But that wasn’t always the case. In fact, a very good number of them conquered these terrifying sicknesses: severe infections, breathing problems, even the looming incubators that threatened to spit them out cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>And now, in case you’re wondering, “What does this have to do with me?” let me ask you a few questions.</p><p><br/></p><p>How many times are you faced with situations that seem like they’ll crush you in a twinkle of an eye?</p><p>How many times do you say, “I’ll just leave this one to fate to decide”?</p><p>How many times do you pick up your rubber shovel and start digging past it anyway?</p><p>How often are we willing to defy all odds and move through life, regardless of how hard it is?</p><p><br/></p><p>Life will always throw battles your way — some loud enough to scare you, some quiet enough to slip past.</p><p>But if tiny humans who haven’t even learned to blink properly can wrestle life and win, then really… what’s your excuse?</p><p><br/></p><p>Before you decide you’re too small for the fight, remember the ones who showed up with nothing but breath and will, and still won.</p><p>Maybe you’re stronger than you think.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000318724.jpg"/></p>
