I find when life turns up the intensity and we are caught off guard, we are forced to take the focus off of what we want and focus on only what we need. We start to peel away the superficial layers of ourselves and find the very core of who we truly are.
The moments where we are so overwhelmed by the task at hand, we forget to brace ourselves when we fall. In these dark times, I believe we get the rare opportunity to prove to ourselves what we are really capable of and learn what we truly value.
It’s looking at the twenty miles left after being dead tired at mile six of a marathon. Or when you realize that you just don’t measure up, and in the past when you thought you could, you were just a fool. It's being betrayed by the one person you knew would never let you down. It’s in these moments we get to measure our fight, our will to get back up, and our very tolerance for living.
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. " - Michelangelo
