Cheerleaders vs. Warriors

This isn't the time to sit on the sidelines and cheer on your buddies.

This is the time to fight for your life.

No one else is going to do it for you, because no one else can.

This time it's up to you.

And if you are just sitting back hoping that the best will happen...

It won't.

You'll lose your family, your friends, your life.

This is your chance.

Take advantage of it.

Use your resources. Have your friends help you.

Listen to them and what has helped them.

Share with them what has helped you.

Don't just say what sounds good.

Tell the truth.

Because this is your chance.

And you don't always get second chances like these.

So get in the game

And fight.

Fight for your life, because that's what we're doing here.

There's a time and a place where cheerleaders are good.

Your friends, your family can be your cheerleaders

And it helps.

But you can't be a cheerleader in your own life.

You have to be a warrior.

In fewer words, this is what he said. So courageously.

And although I am not in his shoes. 

I kinda feel the same way. I am trying my best to understand.

Daily I watch others from the sidelines.

Listen to their heartaches. See their setbacks.

And, now, I want to get in there. 

I want to be a 'warrior' for myself. And for others.

Because someone said I was worth it.

And I do believe that he is worth it. That she is worth it.

That our neighbors. Our strangers. Our friends. Our acquaintances.

Are worth it.
