Good morning gang. Today I walk the thin line between what I believe in & the safe course of action. As you legion pulled me from the mental crevasse I have been imprisoned in; the feel of the cold, rough rock tearing into me brought into focus a truth I have simply been refusing to accept.
When life hands you a fight, you fight back. You come out swinging. You may need to get nasty. You are going to hit back. But win, lose, or draw; the competition does not walk away without knowing they were in a fight. They will walk away with more respect than they carried for you before the fight.
You fight. Even if the playing field is not level; even if the bully pulpit carries the expectation of concession; even if the consequences are great; you must fight. I have to be true to the process that have proven to deliver consistent success for me; taking a stand, when a stand must be taken.
If I am not willing to fight for what I believe in, I might as well not believe in it. What nobility is there in having a conviction, if you refuse to defend it? This is the mentality of a new realization. I may have continued to fall into disarray about this conflict; but after yesterday, New Jon is singing Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” this morning.
Who knows? I’ve always had a knack for finding better things down untraveled roads. So, if this is me turning on my turn signal for that road, so be it.
I feel like Rocky Balboa coming out for the final round against Apollo Creed in the original Rocky. Yeah, I know Rocky lost, but he earned respect. I thank all of you for being my “Mick.”
