Live To Fight Another Day

I am NOT down. I am still up. I am still alive. Live to fight another day.

Have you ever lived to fight another day? What does that really mean? And why should I fight? It is not the fight itself, it is the reason for fighting that matters: for a relationship, to get out of debt, to get good grades, for a business to take off. Why would I do that? I'm going to live to fight another day because the reason is more important than my own ego, it's more important than me. I'm going to fight because I need to, in order not to accept the status quo. I'm going to fight because I am a winner and I can. I'm going to fight because I deserve what I want, and I will get it. I'm going to fight for love. I love what I do. I'm going to fight for YOU, the readers because you deserve the best of me and I love you. Live to fight another day because we're in this together, and we're all winners at the end of the day. I'm going to fight because I love you.

What else is there to fight for, but love?

What the biggest fight you have to battle in your life? Hunger? Money? Relationship?

I used to feel lonely all the time, as though I was yearning for love. How can we walk on a street full of people and still feel lonely?

The financial fight is one most of us have to face at some point or another. What do you do when the bills come and the money is not there? How do you feel when you pay with your credit card knowing in your gut that you can’t afford what you’re buying?

In the last few weeks, I had conversation with many fascinating people, young and old, for the new podcast that will be launched next week. I spoke to an aspiring singer and she told me how she chases wisdom instead of wealth. I thought about how wise she is for her young age of 22 years old. It reminded of a story I read years ago, and it will inspire you too.

**Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young man went to the forest and said to his spiritual master, "I want to have unlimited wealth, and with that unlimited wealth, I want to help and heal the world. Will you please tell me the secret to creating affluence?"

And the spiritual master replied, "There are two Goddesses that reside in the heart of every human being.  Everybody is deeply in love with these supreme beings. But there is a certain secret that you need to know, and I will tell you what it is.

"Although you love both Goddesses, you must pay more attention to one of them. She is the Goddess of Knowledge, and her name is Sarasvati. Pursue her, love her, and give her your attention. The other Goddess, whose name is Lakshmi, is the Goddess of Wealth. When you pay more attention to Sarasvati, Lakshmi will become extremely jealous and pay more attention to you. The more you seek the Goddess of Knowledge, the more the Goddess of Wealth will seek you. She will follow you wherever you go and never leave you. And the wealth you desire will be yours forever."
