At every level of your life, you’re going to be called to adapt and shift towards a version that will be able to cope with the challenges up ahead. You’ll have to let go of what you once were, in order to evolve and shift to who you need to be in order to fulfil your mission as man amongst men.
Similarly, when we go through trauma, we’re actually being called to serve people in proportion to what we’re overcoming.
So when life has decided to beat you over the head with a situation and take your power away, its telling you that you need to pay attention to what the struggle is. It’s actually giving you the weight of a mission that not many could bare. If you are strong and you are crushed by your situation. You are being called to rise despite your situation. And you will, because that is who you are.
Life has battered me and damaged my body. Life has given me no choice but to feel damned and low and powerless. But I refuse to accept this as my fate. I refuse to be beaten by what is not me. For, my heart is stronger than this. My heart is powerful. And in standing up and being me, despite not being what I want to be, I raise a mirror, for others to see themselves in and give back power to those who feel crushed by life itself.
Even if I no longer feel perfect in my own eyes, I do love myself enough to vouch for me.
And in this statement, I take the position of he who has power over his imperfection. For it is in my decision to vouch, and stand tall, despite my mistakes and failures. It is my decision to rise above the limitations, of what has happened to me. I will not be a victim to my circumstance, I will rise above and conquer because I am powerful, I am great, and I am a leader of men. This is my destiny.
