Grizfolk- The Struggle
"The struggle you are up against makes you what you are." This profound statement is something that I can really identify with. Growing up, I had to overcome many obstacles such as balancing school and sports with my need to be home to take care of the house and my mother while she was in surgery or physical therapy. Every single challenge I faced, every trial I passed, became a part of me. When I excelled at things such as football and academics, it gave me a sense of pride and confidence. When I had failed in certain sports such as basketball, relationships, and other areas of my life, those also became a part of me. Falling short has only ever encouraged me to work harder and prove to myself and everyone else that I could succeed.
Hey Ryan! I really liked this song (I actually wrote it down when you played it during class haha). I think it's cool that you see your "failures" as experiences that shape you. I know that I personally struggle with overcoming failure but you made a great point about how everything we do/experience (whether we fail at it or not) is something that helps to build us. Cool blog!
