300

Did you see the movie 300? Setting the stage for the Battle of Thermopylae between the Greeks and the Persians, 300 tells the story of men who gave their last ounce of everything to defend what mattered to them most; their families, their futures, and their livelihood. The Spartans were an elite arrangement who allowed only those who’d proven strong, confident, and capable of not only defending themselves, but their brother as well, on the team.


Right before the King Leonidas left for battle, his wife said firmly “Soldier, come back with your shield or on it.’



I liked that part for several reasons, however, for our purposes today; remember that phrase as a motivator to be fearless in your endeavors. You have to fight for what you want, what you believe in, and what is right. As said many times before, you are not an island unto yourself. Others are counting on you and the light you are going to bring because of your sacrifice and perseverance. So when you go out, do NOT be afraid of the” what if’s”. Fight your fight. Run your race. Whether you come back walking upright or wounded, bent, and slow-moving – You are still MOVING. You’ll get it. *wink*



Don’t let someone else live your dream. Sure, there is enough to go around. I’m saying don’t let YOURS pass YOU by, because it will, if you don’t go after it.

"It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are." - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Physican
