"The greatest oak was once a little nut that held his ground." - unknown
At some point you have to decide it's worth the fight. Whatever it may be that you feel is worth your time and energy (your most valuable resources), make sure that when you look back on it you will at least know that you did your best with what knowledge you had at the time. Most of us don't want to admit to ourselves that we are complacently skating through life and would deny it if asked, but I know that there are days that I have wasted to complacency. Where is my ambition and drive on those days? If I died tomorrow and had only what I have done up till this point in life, what would my obituary say in regards to my successes? I think all I have created would amount to a nicely worded paragraph of...nothing.
I have yet to choose what I will fight for, so am fighting for nothing and that's what I've accomplished so far. Without a defined aim to guide me I have wandered in useless paths and made no progress in reaching a destination of hope. Complacent to just survive till the next sunrise, to do what when it arrives?
Discover what you love, make it what you do...and hold your ground, you nuts!
