Face your battles

KEEP ON THE FIRING LINE 

Battles are an inevitable part of life, they could be in different forms such as personal struggles, professional challenges, or societal conflicts. We must ensure not to be disconnected with the fight for progress, we must remain steadfast in the face of adversity, and refuse to retreat from the battle front when the fight is still on, and worth fighting.

When we keep moving forward, as soldiers hold their position under fire, resolute, and focused despite the chaos around them. The warfare is not about who is strongest, but who is not ready to give up; it is not about who knows more, but who is ready to hold their ground irrespective of the fire flying around. Perseverance, courage, and determination are key to victory. Every great change, every hard-won victory, comes from those who refuse to step back when the pressure mounts.

Be it the fight for a better life for yourself, or the fight for those who are unjustly oppressed, keeping on the firing line is the only way to get what you want. Sometimes, it may be easier to quit, to run for cover, to submit to the enemy, but that is not an option for those who are bent on winning. Defend the truth, even when you are ridiculed or resisted, because, no matter how long a lie travels, the truth will eventually overtake one day.

Staying on the firing line is not about stubbornness, it is about conviction. It is about knowing when to hold your ground, when to push forward, and when to regroup without surrendering the fight. So, when the stakes are high and the opposition is fierce, do not step back, but step forward. The hardship may be daunting, but your will can beat it. The world belongs to those who endure, who persevere and keep moving forward in spite of the challenges.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
