Everyday, Every hour, Every minute, We are challenged by something far greater than our own understanding.
A fight in which the winner is unknown because everyday, the gloves are put back on.
But the fight of the everyday is only half the battle.
The real fight is fought internally, in which your strongest opponent is none other, then yourself.
The real fight is the struggle to keep your heart from closing itself off.
From shutting out the embrace of a lover, the comfort of a friend, as well as the simple feeling of joy.
To allow your heart to be filled with true happiness, happiness of the purest kind, can sometimes be a lonely and fearful thought.
For we all have experienced that with intense, light feelings of joy can sometimes come great sorrow, as well as unwanted hurt.
This is when you must choose to either rise to the challenge that is the fight, or walk through the shadows of a life half lived.
There will be pain.
There will be struggles.
And there will most certainly be heartache.
But, overcome all of that and you will find the beauty in things that once went unnoticed.
Your pain will have made you stronger.
Your struggles, more capable.
And your heartache will help bring you closer to the person who deserves your love.
The fight maybe never ending, but in time you may find that it was all worth it.
Worth the strength, Worth the capabilities, and Worth the love.

Hope House
Hope is a light that shines in the darkness.
A faint, often dim gleam of brightness that manages to shine through even in the darkest of hours.
It is through hope that we find salvation.
An inner strength that allows us to forgive the past and accept whatever uncertainties lie in the future.
A future so unstable, it seems to be painted with nothing but despair.
But by some miracle, far greater then man can comprehend, hope shines through.
In the smallest form, in the most incomprehensible of ways, hope shines through.
In days filled with regret, hope shines through.
In hours of remorse, hope shines through.
In the back lash of decisions made out of anger and impulse, hope shines through.
In the souls of the lost, the ones that are too weak to face their misfortunes, hope will find a way to lighten even the heaviest of hearts.
Hope will burn bright, lighting the fire that will inspire the strength to bare what was once considered unbearable.

The Good of Mistakes
One mistake can lead to a lifetime of regrets.
One mistake can directly affect the lives of those closest to you.
One mistake can change the course of your life forever.
But sometimes, one mistake is all you need in order to know what you want.
To know how you want to live.
To know who you want to be.
Sometimes, one mistake is enough to inspire the notion to be better.
To rise above and look beyond your front door.
To plant the seeds of wisdom in your own life and allow them to grow into the foundation of your being.
Yes, one mistake can lead to a lifetime of regrets. But, if given the opportunity, one mistake can also teach a lifetime of lessons.
Our personal growth is not measured in the level of severity of that in which our mistakes have brought forth.
It is found in the value of that in which we allow ourselves to take away from it.
When we allow ourselves to learn from the past, we allow forgiveness to enter our hearts,
taking with it the remorse that has overshadowed our life for far too long.
Once time has healed the pain that broke our spirit, once understanding has filled our hearts with compassion, only then, will we be able to rationalize that one mistake as a blessing.
For in committing the crime that threw us into the cell of self incorporated, mental torment, are we thus capable of walking out as a better version of the life left behind.
