That fire within you...

This goes around well….

“We have stumbled, our spirits have been crushed, our hearts bleed, and we have lost”. And the counter vail … We’ve learned to stood up, we’ve healed our selves, we have taught our hearts to beat again, we fought our way back and continued pacing.” It’s just like movies with happy ending.

Digging deeper, we could see them vividly.…

At first were just small steps. He tried to stand with just one limp limb, weak and hesitant. Mustering all the strength to carry him and walk… Both hands are grasping, numb and cold but still trying to clutch to anything that there is. They are fiercely holding on. And so on. Those are pictures of survivors that we see in our minds. Wounded but turned victorious from experiences that we, per se, had gone through.

It is easy to see in reality…

There is the athlete. For him, hard training and giving a good fight is the challenge. There is the soldier. Always staking his life in a war. There is the mother. Embracing a most noble profession. There is the youth. Unending in going through the natural cyclic process of finding one-self identity.

From the observer’s eye who have seen….

This fighting and struggling is caused by the fire within us. That fire is the burning desire to win, the zeal to succeed in the battle, the ardent yearning to reach the end. The unceasing spirit to outlive what is weighing us down.

Every person has fire within them. For some it is burning high, blazing. For some, it is waning…bleak. What keeps that fire burning within us is fuelled by our unique individualism. Keeping that fire burning is tantamount to winning, to succeeding, and to reaching the end. Recognizing our individual fuel will unquestionably sustain that fire within us.

An eye-opener…

If you are not an athlete, neither a soldier, nor a mother nor a youth, - who are you and what keeps that fire burning within you?

I would like to recommend 2009 Warner Brothers’ motion picture “Up”. The burning fire within was best displayed in the roles of Carl, the young boy scout and Mr. Fredriech, the old widower.
