4 Things In Life You May Have To Fight For
“The devil is always busy.”
Is what my Grandmother used to say me as a teenager. It was one of those sayings where, I kinda knew what she meant, then I didn’t.
As an adult, I liken that saying to, “If it isn’t one thing, its another.”
Life can deal a helluva hand and usually does.
When life happens, what do we do? Relent? Give up? Play victim?
I know of one thing I personally do. And that’s fight. Because nothing is owed or given. Every human being has faced adversity. But not everyone fights for what is theirs.
Here’s four things in life, we may have to fight for:
Love. Even if its self-love. I said before its more than a caption. Its a daily practice.
Happiness. You have to find it. Somewhere within the madness. Chaos. And the rubble of heartbreak and disappointment. You gotta find the good in the bad.
Faith. When life and the closest people to you get dicey and your not sure which direction to turn. Health scares. Job and income scares. Whatever it is you fear. You gotta fight to have faith to see you through.
Peace. If it means deleting apps from your phone or creating space from certain people, do it. Unapologetically. A peace of mind is priceless.
All of the aforementioned and more is what we are deserving of. We just have to know and believe it. Life won’t automatically hand us these things. There will be challenging times; always. What matters is how we handle them. Fold or fight?
Now that I know for sure what my Grandmother meant, I’m choosing to fight every single time.
