No matter how much we struggle, someone out there is fighting a more difficult battle.
And that truth hits differently when we’re standing in the center of our own storm.
When we’re
- walking away from a career we built for years,
- relocating to a place where nothing feels familiar,
- making a bold move that scares us,
- or simply trying to survive a personal crisis—
our world feels heavy… Small…. All-consuming.
But then we pause, look up, and really see.
Everyone else may be fighting something more intensely
Someone is carrying weight we may never know or fully understand.
And somehow… we keep going.
- Some win.
- Some stumble.
- Some break.
And then, out of nowhere, someone reaches down to lift us up.
A teammate pushes us forward.
A stranger hands us one more breath of courage.
And watching that does something to our faith in humanity.
It cuts through the self-pity.
It quiets the doubt.
It ignites that small, stubborn spark inside,
the one that tells us to get up and try again.
Because the truth is simple:
We can accomplish anything we set out to do.
