We’ve become so entranced with a facade of perfection that
we, too, have stopped giving humanity a chance. Highlight reels have become
hamster wheels and we’re chasing the impossible.
We’re no longer accepting of the bad days because we think
they don’t coincide with the mountains we’re chasing. Don’t you realize the bad
days are where strength is gained to climb the mountain?
Besides, you can’t remain on a mountain forever. Don’t you
know that even volcanoes erupt when the stress is too much? Then, they take
centuries to build up again — what makes you think that we are any different?
The process of preparation is no longer accepted by man
because instant gratification isn’t fast enough anymore. What is enough if you
aren’t satisfied even when you reach the mountain?
We have to get back to the raw reel of people instead of the
highlight reel. Yet, it starts with yourself. Scars tell the tale of someone
who is still standing after they’ve won the battle. Even soldiers have war
stories and it’s in those stories where respect is gained.
You are a soldier in God’s army, tell your story, you never
know who you will inspire to pick up their shield, pick up their sword and go
to battle for the greater good.
Imperfectly Yours,
Katie
