Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It, Is Just to Not Give Up

It’s a triumph unto itself.

I don’t know what you’re going through. But I know that life is really hard.

I know you’ve been navigating a pandemic — and all that comes with that. I know you’ve been experiencing mental health issues — because, to one degree or another, we all do.

And there’s a host of other things that could be trying to tear you down. Maybe you’re dealing with racism, sexism, or poverty. Maybe you’re struggling to find a job, or to just have hope for tomorrow.

I’m sorry for everything you’re going through — all the circumstances trying to turn your light off, fill your heart with hate, and tempt you to become resentful towards life itself.

This world is not a walk in the park.

But you can fight back. You can take a deep breath and remember that you have the power to create your own little society right there where you are. You can be the change your want to see in the world, as Ghandi said. That’s all we really have anyway. Some of us may rise to power and find ourselves with a platform and the potential to make sweeping changes. But most of us won’t.

Most of us are with our most important mission right now — ourselves.
