Fight For Something
A Short story from Nanci Pelosi, former Speaker US House of Reps.
When one day I go happily to meet my creator, he will say to me, “Show me your wounds.”
And if I have no wounds he will say, “Was nothing worth fighting for?”
You’ve got to be proud of your wounds.

Where are your scars? Where are your wounds? What did you fight for? What did you stand for?
When your descendants look back on your life, will they remember you as someone who fought for something valuable?
You’ve got to get out and fight. You’ve got to stand for something. Stop living small. Stop staying in your comfort zone. Make a stand for something. Earn your scars.
If you want it, don't sit down and wait for life to hand it over, because it won't. Instead, go fight for what you want. And get it.
