I am a fighter

Today was not a good day.
It was awful.
It wasn't one of those bad days where you got after your kid too much, or the everyday disasters that caused the house to be the disaster, or maybe you didn't feel like you exceeded at being a wife. It wasn't one of those days at all...nope, today was the day you felt completely defeated.

Something happened today that can't be undone, untold, or given a redo.

It stopped you in your tracks, made you take a step back and realize a mistake you have made, or maybe a few mistakes you made.

Today was the day where you felt hurt, disappointed, unreliable and a failure.

When these days come around, because they do, it's just a matter of time. You don't feel like your enough. You don't feel worthy. You don't feel your worth much.

You start to be hard on yourself and then you start letting other people be hard on you.

You let the pressure and stress weigh you down.

You stop caring and you put yourself on a survival mode full of comfort items.

This happens to all of us, no matter our circumstance. We all have different scenarios and trials we have to face. The one thing we all have in common is there is no way around it, but through.

No matter how many trials you come across, there is another waiting somewhere down the road. No one is a pro at overcoming these obstacles.

It is still hard.

It is always going to be painful. It will always be tough and It is always going to push you to the limit.

The one thing you have control over and can choose to strengthen is your character.

Give yourself the weekend to get your hurt out. Sometimes you just need to cry it out, eat everything and take sometime to stay on the couch. That is the time to do so.

However, when Monday comes around you fight.

Don't give up. Fight.

Your worth is more than what those people give you credit for, so fight for it. You gave yourself time to feel sorry and be hurt, but now its time to light a fire under your butt.

You are enough, your more, so show everyone.
No, maybe everything you do won't be enough for some people, but if you choose to believe those who's actions make you question yourself, then you won't ever truly know. You are enough and your actions need to show you know it too.

Your fight should pack a punch so strong that the pressure and stress are not from the problem, but from your solution.

You will see those who sulk, they never get up from the couch and the let failure become an option. I used to hate the saying "failure is not an option" because I used to think that I failed all the time. Let me say this, you only fail when you give up, when you don't fight.

We are fighters. We don't quit. Failure is not an option, we have a solution.

I will give myself time to recover, time to sit and reflect and feel hurt, but when Monday comes around I will kick ass and take names.

My actions will scream "that girl is a fighter and you better watch out."
