We’re All Fighting Our Own Battles (FALSE)

A friend recently returned from his trip to Switzerland. He came to my station and handed me a magazine from Switzerland called Swiss Review: The Magazine For The Swiss Abroad. Reading through the stories inside, I expected to be overwhelmed with new and different information. What is happening in Switzerland can’t possible be the same as what is happening in the U.S.

It surprised me to find that is exactly what is happening.

It made me realize that though distance, culture, and goals can be different for one person, one state, or one country, we are regularly faced with the same hardships and hindrances.

We’re all fighting each other’s battles —  which happen to also be our own. The simple truth is that we share plenty of the same troubles, concerns, and doubts; we are confronted with similar criticisms, obstacles, and resistance. We’re a lot more alike than we care to admit.

The Quick And Short Way

Garth Beyer

Robert Frost never got to finish his sequel. His sequel goes something like this: “After taking the road less travelled, I soon found myself at another fork in the road.”

When one stops looking for the quick and short way, and instead goes the route of challenges, obstacles, and facing fear, the long and rough shapes itself into the quick and short.

Most people realize this, however, its “tragic” because now you have to do the long and rough more often.

A Life Reminder

Garth Beyer

People want you to succeed.

Those who it may seem that they don’t, are just the ones who are better at preparing you for the success.

Anyone can show you the “right way” of achieving what you want, but you will not feel the power of having succeeded if you did not jump through the flaming hula-hoop that is spinning in air above a tank full of sharks.
