Rising from the ashes of Despair

In the darkest times, nobody cares how good you are and how talented you are. They don't care how hard you focus for yourself, even if they know there's going to be moments when things don't necessarily go the right way. It is probable that there will be occasions when something will happen that is expected to happen but you did not expect it.

Life is full of the unpredictable. It's the uncalled for. The unintended one. We who have been physically wounded, mentally damaged, have claimed the fact that we have broken hearts today. We people are vulnerable to a physical break, an emotional break, a broken heart and a broken spirit. And all of these impacts will leave a mark. But the mark they leave may reflect a mark of triumph, or it may be a mark of loss.

It is a gift to endure the broken heart in itself. It's not what you're going through that decides where you're going to end up. It's who you're listening to. And right now, for those hurting and feeling agony, they're passing across a void with two voices. Wisdom and Fear. Your Appreciation and Whining. Liability and Conviction.

And at any time you break and in whatever way you break, it's going to be an opportunity for you to give up and for you to fall apart. But the question is will you allow it. We must know that there is still a chance to be seized, to be better, smarter, quicker, tougher, more stable and more robust.

What you really need to do is find a justification to keep driving. And once you see a motive to keep going, it will be the first step to restore your composure and to know that you are strong enough to persevere through this suffering. Every individual has everything it takes to get through whatever they're going through if they plan to work through it and make an attempt. The misery and the trials are coming to everyone, and only the strong survive.

The war isn't done. The war has just started. You've got a chance to show the world what you're truly made of. In order for you to know where your true power is, you need to look at the suffering and illnesses that is going on in your life. Whatever it might be, I want you to say, no, I NEED you to say, I CAN beat it, I'm GOING to beat it, I MUST beat it. Because whether or not you have a family or not, there is someone out there for you to live for to fight for. We are not alone. This fight is not over yet. As long as there is breath in your lungs, your life is not over yet.

There are things you don't need a degree for in life, you don't need money for it, you don't need help for it. There are some things in your life that you have got to get through when you remind yourself that I'm going to get through this.

No matter what happens to you in life, no matter the hardship, no matter the competition, no matter the trials and tribulations, there is no force in this world to deter you. You're the only one that can hinder yourself. There is no situation, no scenario, no piece of adversity that will determine your life. Don't ever let a situation describe you.

Don't escape from this battle, don't run. Don't stress or pay attention to what they think, whether you're outnumbered or not. You need to live by this as it is what you will die by too. We're going to stand, we're going to breathe, and we're going to die for what we stand for, and everybody's going to know what we stand for and what we stand apart from.

Be reassured today that no matter what you've been through, no matter how torn you are, no matter how many times you've lost, there's a spirit inside you greater than everything that's going on around you. If you'd be able to fight your way through this war, fight your way through cancer, fight your way through your academic challenges, fight your way through divorce, if you're willing to fight your way through your wounds, there'll be victory at the end of the fight.

And as you emerge out of that dreary and miserable place, as you climb from what you were, and as you take the shape of who you were meant to be, you will know that with every act of rising up, making an attempt to fight back you will become and stay unbreakable.
