You're a Gladiator, Baby

Exclamation Points!

Have you ever stopped to realize that you’ve somehow managed to make it through a human existence obstacle course of near-constant zigging and zagging? (It’s called “Life.”)

You’re like this. But sans mullet?

Every day, you pivot and go. You turn and face, jump and dodge. Even in the lying down or taking a break, your body and mind are actively, specifically, building up stores for the continued moving forward in the gauntlet of days.

I’m not trying to make you feel exhausted or overwhelmed with the idea that life can be a challenge. I just want you to soak into your bones and soul the reality of the potent, pure, and incredible power you possess as a person breathing on this planet.

Even your simple being is a triumph. Remember that.
