If you haven’t had to fall, then you can’t possibly understand what low means. What it means to begin with nothing or to lose everything. To have never felt indescribable pain, you are unable to feel true peace.
Many that fall, however, will never get back up. Many will lie down and let the world fall down upon them. Then, there will be some, survivors.
A survivor is one of the most powerful and influential people ever known. Not by their wealth in property or material, but by the wealth of their spirit. They will captivate your circle as they speak through their eyes.
A survivor will have a sparkle, that others cannot generate. Not because they didn’t have the chance to be the survivor, but they allowed hopelessness to bleed into the deepest parts of their soul.
Hope, Redemption, and Love are vital to every survivor. Because without those, they too would be drowning in the vault of emptiness.
When you have a survivor in your life, their number one goal is to influence others. To drive away despair with the energy they have come to know in their fight.
A survivor has hope, beyond your imagination. They have been to the darkest places in their lives, found a way to rise up, and smile to light up a room. They use their pain to give other’s appreciation and humility.
A survivor won’t give up on themselves or the rest of the world. They will believe in redemption and reclamation of the young child they once were. They will remember the innocence, focus on that, and heal.
Most of all, the survivor will give love. The feeling of their energy will make you feel lifted. Without a word, they can speak to your heart. Their experiences will allow you a space to comprehend what it truly means to pick yourself back up.
A survivor, gives.
I am a SURVIVOR.
I learned to accept and respect all of it, take something good out of it, and I chose to rise above it. I chose to give my deepest emotions. It’s the reason I still believe.
This world is not walking all over me, I am walking. I am not a victim of circumstance, I am a survivor and teacher. Life doesn’t happen to you, you happen to it.
We all have the opportunity to overcome, but we all can’t remember how we began in this place called earth. Can You?
