And you?
We are quite willing to be strong as long as we think we have strength, willing to give as long as we think we have something to give. But who are you willing to be when you are sure you have no more strength to muster and nothing more to give? When you find yourself in the middle of the fight of your life, what will you do? Who will you be? Will you settle for just getting over the hump or will you pick a battle that is worth fighting for?
In our lives we will face many challenges—some will be
hard,
hard,
hard.
Some will test the very limits of our personal ability to endure. But we have the freedom to choose whether we go on or whether we quit. When defeat seems certain, that is when it is time to FIGHT THE BIGGER FIGHT! Where others would quit, that is when it is time to LIVE STRONG and live stronger than ever before!
Like Lance Armstrong, we all have super human strength and it is possible to tap into that strength. We can choose to challenge ourselves to win a GAME beyond the thought of our own survival, and we can choose to trust that divine Power that is available to us, a Power beyond reason and a Power that defies logic. You can tap into that Power, but you have to be willing to take the leap of faith.
There are, and there will be, many battles in life. There are battles, and then there are BATTLES—the ones we expect and the big ones that we never even saw coming. When the big one comes at you from out of left field and threatens to take you out, decide that you will call the shots. Decide that you are in charge and start living like you've already won!
Thank God for our battles. Our battles will test us and make us strong and set us apart for greater things. Your battle will train you to be patient, focused and intent. It will teach you about what you are made of and train you to Live Strong. And, it is your BATTLE that will masterfully develop in you the ability to be, not who you are but, who you will ultimately become.
