Defining moments is characterized by the presence of courage, integrity, discipline, strength, focus, and tenacity. With all these characteristics within us, we find the courage to work on this continuous journey of self- discovery. These moments fought against our nature and presented itself as challenges. They are the very essences needed for the sole survival of our world.
It's these moments where you wake up and say, "I'm alive and I know it." Sometimes, it's isn't as simple, easy and straightforward, but we strive. We put our heart and souls to what we believe in. We focus our energy on what needs to be completed and all you want to say at the end of the day is "I did my very best."
As long as you know you did your very best and were true to who you were, that is absolutely enough. Our defining moments are not the moments where we stood on top of a mountain from an easy stroll in the park. No.... It's the moments were you struggled within, found the courage to not do something, figure something out on your own, and continued moving forward because you knew in your heart, things will fall into place sooner or later.
In those moments, you find your last ounce of innocence... your last breath of peace... your last moments of love for yourself... your last bits of courage to fight all the fears you had... For it is that moment, you knew what you were capable of and it was MORE than what you had thought possible.
It is that moment of success or failure, it was who you were. It was just being the way you were... that was just beautiful.
