It all comes down to a choice. The only person we can control in this life is ourselves.
WHEN life knocks us down--for it surely will--we can choose to stay where we are, knowing we'll be safe by not taking the next risk that comes along (whether that be a romance, employment, or life in general), or we can stand back up and push forward, ready to fight the next challenge that may come our way. Heads held high, we will feel motivation and drive growing within us.
As some of you may know, my dear mother passed away a week ago. Needless to say, it's been quite a life-changing experience for me. Our lives have been so centered on Mom and her needs that now there's this hole that's in need of being filled. And it will only BE filled if I fight through what I'll be facing in the coming months.
Mom's death = Life knocking me down
My choice = To get back up and FIGHT for my life!
This experience has taught me a lot and one thing I have learned is how important it is to take care of our physical bodies NOW! (It's never too late to start!) Therefore, I am embracing the knowledge I have gained and will begin doing some form of physical activity daily! Hopefully I'll save some money (and clean the basement) to get some equiptment. But until then, I'll simply have to find ways to be active!
Therefore, when life knocks you down, and you feel like giving up, just remember to stand back up and fight, fight, FIGHT!!! For YOUR LIFE is worth fighting for. No one else can live it for you... it's 100% YOU!! And no one could do a better job!
So take a deep breath and let's go!

Heck yes! You go, girl! As you know, I didn't know your mother personally, but I feel like I've gotten to know her over the past few weeks, and I've learned so much! I'm definitely making some changes because of the wonderful things I've learned from her and your family.
