Fight for the Inches

Recently I had a conversation that caused me to think about the choices I have made in life and the journey I have been on. Eleven years ago I was pristine. I had the world in front of me and opportunities abounded. I made decisions that cause opportunities to be lost forever and have left deep scars imbedded in my soul. I value my life and my journey and I would not really trade the character I have developed over time. However, the interesting thing I realized as a result of this conversation was that none of the decisions I made were very large in scope. They were little decisions. Inches, if you will, in the race of life. But the impact they have had on my life is very real and very large.

There are many who carry the scars of battle. Whether it's fighting an addiction, overcoming the damage of abuse, poverty, neglect or a million other things. The key factor in anyone's life is the inches they are willing to fight for. And the good news is this: Nobody has to do it alone. We can always reach out and up and there will be aid given in times of need and distress. Life can be beautiful. This I promise you all.
