I met a new friend on the metro today...
I've seen him just about everyday for the last couple weeks. Today he decided to come and introduce himself and share his testimony. He explained that he was lost. Although he expressed an extreme interest to go home, he was still in awe of his resilience and determination for life! He would've never imagined that he could live without all the amenities and comforts that he was used to. It didn't matter that he spent months retrieving the strongest twigs to build the largest and most stable nest among his friends. Nor did it matter that he had gone to great lengths to preen his shiny feathers and perfect his song to attract mates. What was with him in his moments of despair were his moral fiber and will, granted by a higher being.
That's one bad azz city bird if I ever saw one!
How do you truly know who you are, what you are about, or what you are capable of by merely following the effortless road, the path of least resistance? Time moves on whether we are cowards or conquerors!
Sometimes leaving your comfort zone will allow you to grow wings.
More eloquently stated: "The man of character finds an especial attractiveness in difficulty since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that he can realize his potentialities." - Charles de Gaulle
I will NOT let any negative situation, trial or tribulation in my life prevent my growth. Instead, I will use it as a catalyst for progress and development....
