IT IS THE SIZE OF FIGHT IN THE DOG....
I have heard of this statement and most probably you have heard it too. Mark Twain said 'It is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog'. The size of the dog is important but does not matter more than the fight in the dog.
I remember when we were small boys and would go grazing animals, we would have our dogs with us and in the event that there was an prey to chase, some dogs would run after the prey. After a long chase, the number of dogs consistent on the chase will reduce until we have one or two that will stay on the race till they catch the prey.
So many times we are confronted with or by situations where we need to fight some things off. It might seem okay to fight and after some throw in the towel and resign to fate which is what most do, but those that stay on and fight till they win have trophies to show for the fights.
There are moments that giving up and quiting is the best option, there are moments when energies go low, the human mind and body has its own limits and moving on seems very difficult but WINNERS NEVER QUIT, CHAMPIONS STAY ON till the end of the race.
Fight till you win. Stay there till its all done. Strategize, plan, rest if you have to, take breaks if you have to, but FINISH THE FIGHT. STAY IN THE RING.
You might be down, but do not allow that to mean that you are out of the race. Ensure that you survive the heat in the Kitchen. Ensure that you get back up when knocked down.
The juices to help us stay on when everything says quit are within us. There are energies deep inside every man/woman to stay on in the fight. IT IS ALL WITHIN US. The fight is in us not outside of us.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT QUIT!!!
