I was sitting at my kitchen table talking to my mom one evening. We were just talking about all of the struggles of life and some pretty discouraging things I was going through. I told her I wished I was as strong as she was and i will never forget what her reply was.
She told me:
"Oh honey. I didn't get a warrior's heart from lack of battle."
What she said was true, too. A diamond starts as a lump of coal. A literal lump of black coal. But its beaten down and worn down until it becomes this priceless gem of absolute beauty.
A warrior can be trained for a battle but until he is thrust into adversity, his training is useless. You aren't weak. You aren't useless. You aren't going through this for nothing.
There's a reason all of these struggles are being thrown at you and its because you ARE strong enough to handle it. You CAN get through anything and you will have victory over whatever battle you're fighting!
Because you, my friend, have a warrior's heart.
