FORTITUDE

RESOLVE, STRENGTH, INTERNAL FORTITUDE, MORAL COURAGE; WE ALL HAVE IT, SOME OF US IN ABUNDANCE OTHERS OCCASSIONALY ALLOW IT TO TRICKLE OUT WHEN BACKED INTO A CORNER. I FIND IT SAD THAT THE TRUE HERO IS UN-NOTICED, THEY GO ABOUT THERE DAY DISPLAYING ALL OF THE ABOVE AND NEVER ASK FOR PRAISE....THE SOLDIERS THE POLICE AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS THE SINGLE PARENTS WORKING MANY JOBS AND THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON.
WHO DO WE SEE SEEKING PRAISE FOR SEEMILY DOING THE RIGHT THING, THE POLITICIANS THE RELIGOUS RIGHT WINGERS, THE 'STARS' AND 'CELEBS' WE GIVE SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY TOO.
SAD, SAD, SAD IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT...THE STATE OF OUR TODAY, THE LACK OF STRENGTH IN OUR OWN CHARACTERS. I ENCLUDE MYSELF IN THAT STATEMENT...TO ADMIRE SOME ONE FOR JUST DOING THE RIGHT THING BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMOUS OR RICH OR POWERFUL....
I WOULD MUCH RATHER ADMIRE THOSE WHO DO BECUASE THEY KNOW IT IS RIGHT AND JUST
NOT BECAUSE THEY NEED ADMIRATION. TO THOSE MILLIONS OF UNSUNG HERO'S OUT THERE I WILL IN RESPECT OF YOU, TRY HARDER TO BE MORE LIKE YOU ARE IN MY OWN LIFE. TO REMEMBER TO BE LOVING, KIND AND MORAL TO LIFT MY INNER FORTITUDE BECAUSE I CAN NOT BECAUSE I NEED TO!

BLESSING BE
