Prove 'em wrong

I have been very blessed in my life to be surrounded by others that refuse to quit. There are folks in my life that have inspired me over and over because they refuse to give up and refuse to give in and refuse to sit down. I am truly blessed.

I can remember times in my life when people that "knew far more than I would ever know" told me that I could not do something. They had no idea that their statement lit something in me that could not be described. Nothing gets me going more than someone telling me I can't...

Today's word is something that came to me as I road to work this morning, which says, "There will ALWAYS be those who thrive on our failures; prove them wrong by NEVER quitting. And, love them anyway!"

Until this life is over, there will always be those who love to watch and love to gloat over others' failures. These people seem to thrive on others' failures like a vulture thrives to find fresh road kill. I don't know what motivates them, other than kicking folks when they are down, which I will never understand.

The next time someone stands on the sidelines and points out all your failures, pay them no mind. Prove them wrong by getting back up, wiping off, and going again. There is no shame in failure; the shame is in quitting. And, that shame is multiplied when you allow someone else to cause you to give up. Don't quit - prove 'em wrong! And, love them anyway!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
