The Stone Shelter

Even stone can be worn down.

Fear is not an option.  Luck is not a factor.  The only question in this life is whether you will knuckle up or knuckle under.  Failure lies not in getting knocked on your ass, but in not ever getting back up.  No matter what you've been told, it's not what, or even who you know (or blow) but how hard you are willing to grow.

 

And always remember to be good to you, to take care of you.  You are the only you those fortunate enough to know you have in their worlds.  And even if you don't see them yet, someone, somewhere, is relying on you to take care of you and stick around to be there for them when they finally find their way home to you.  And if you haven't been good to you, then you won't be able to be good to them when they need you to.

NoOneofConsequence​(dom male){Taken} - I grok. I do. Over the last several years, there have been many a time when I said "I'm tired of playing wall" (after "beating my head against a wall").

But, the one thing I can promise is this. The view is much better from your feet (especially when looking at the faces that didn't think you could) than it is from your back as you look up at what put you there.

NoOneofConsequence​(dom male){Taken} - Thank YOU for reading and pausing to let me know you had. And how much it meant to you.

Yes. Fear is not an option. It is a reality, sometimes. But, it has no power over us other than what we allow it to. The brave are not unafraid. To truly be brave requires the fear to be felt, but to not let it stop us from moving ahead.

Fly, brave angel wings. Don't let fear stop you from spreading those wings.
