Fight!

Power up! You are called into battle and you have to fight. What are you going to do to win? You are a warrior. Beast mode. Get ready. Go!

This is your challenge.  You want to get to the next level. You want to rise victorious. You jab, strike, hit upwards, and then smash him in. To get to the next round is to defeat the opponent in front of you. Sometimes, this means trying again and again until you succeed. Press continue. This is the game you’ve entered after all; it’s called life, and everyone is always talking about the fight. What is it that you fight for? The things you want, naturally.  You want to win. You’re programmed to fight for it too: food, shelter, love, respect, and esteem. Life is all about survival. So, when it comes to fighting, we do it again and again; we kick left, right, attack the waist, and finally, with a punch to the ribs, smash the opponent to bits.

To get to the next level is to defeat the opponent before you and try and try again until you do.

Do you have a killer instinct?

Yes, and what’s your power? What makes you unique as a human being and how can you use this to create yourself? How can you become a character? How can you fight with what you have? We are all individuals here with a unique set of skills. When we hone those skills and attributes, we create powerful versions of ourselves.  These moves lead us in the right direction and take us to the next level. There’s always something in our way. But, when we embrace the challenge in front of us, and see it as a gift, we can help ourselves to achieve our greatest potential.

Think about it, what’s going on in your life is either really hard or it’s going to help you get the awesome back!

This is true for the same reason that we need the patience to put up with things and withstand the test of time with people too because what’s it worth to lose? You have to fight to change your life and that change does not come easily.
