FIGHTS
It’s only when you lose your enemy that you understand his
value. It dawns on you that there would be no one to fight with, as fight
itself is an element of survival in life.
I started
fighting even before I was born; down there in the womb, I started fighting for
my own share of the meals, it wasn’t an easy fight during labor, as the
midwives insisted I came out with my head.
Ever since I
was born, fighting had become a routine. I have lost count of how many fights I
have been in, those I won and those I lost. My greatest fear is not losing a
fight, but my fear is not fighting because I thought I would lose, only to
realize later that I would have won if I fought.
Time has
been my biggest opponent, every day of my life I fight with time, most times he
gives me blows that keeps it ahead, it’s either I missed an appointment because
I was 30 minutes late or I have 5 more minutes to catch up with the next
flight.
Life itself
is a tournament and surviving is my greatest opponent. We all fight to succeed;
we fight to have six figures in our accounts; fight to secure our friends or
scare away enemies.
Whenever you
are knocked out in a fight, don’t just lie there. Stand up, clean yourself up
and demand for a rematch. You only lose when there is no life in you; as long
as you breathe you have to always fight.
It’s either you fight and have a hold
on life, or you can allow life to keep its hold on you.
