Resist and Succeed

Learn perspective and endurance.
If you fail today, you are stronger tomorrow.
If you fall today, you will soar tomorrow.
A boxer has lost every round to eventually win the fight.
He throws his bruised body into the pummeling of the opponent,
His eyes are closed with blood and sweat
But still looking for his opportunity
Until he lands the knockout punch.

Life is a struggle but your heart must never be vanquished.
Push forward in everything you do
To make your existence meaningful.
A hundred falls and a thousand mistakes
Will never define your being
But your dogged determination to resist and succeed.
