Fighting the good fight...

Any fight that's worth fighting, must be important. Conflicts over territory, conflicts over differences of opinions, conflicts over race, gender, sex, religion, conflicts over anything are always fought for a variety of reasons. However... the hardest fights of all, are the ones between self... and self. More to the point, fights with the mind. Fights over fear, conscience, responsibility, love, respect, and many more facits of the mind. It's a personal battle between good and evil.... and I fight it everyday.

If you have ever lived in a box, then you might know what i'm about to say. Sometimes fear, can control you like nothing you ever thought could. Fear... perhaps the most powerful of emotions, and almost the most unbeatable. For me... i've been living in a box, surrounded by fear, fighting against it everyday, to try to break it's hold on me. It's hold is so tight ,it's hard to get any breathing room. Everytime you gain an inch... there is something new there. Something new to fight.

However powerful an emotion or hold it has upon me, it can't break my will. The one thing that can stand up against it, Will. The will to do what fear doesn't want you do do. To push the fear over the edge and stand up in triumph. The will to continue with my life, to step from the box, and say... I fought the good fight. I stood up against you, and here I am. I have won, and you can't stop me. However... fear always finds ways to pop back up... and to that end...

I will continue to fight the good fight, where ever fear is... I will stand up against it. This time I will not retreat in the box... I will stand. I have way to much going for me to quit now. Fighting the good fight...
