Something Short and Inspirational

“So are you ever going to face him?”
“Never.”
“But why not? You spend all this time dreaming about him, it seems pretty pointless to just sit by the sidelines and gawk .”
“I have no issues sitting and gawking, thank you very much. I’m comfortable exactly where I am.”
“Comfortable? Comfortable? Do you think anything was ever accomplished through ‘Comfort’? Did the Jews leave Egypt in comfort? Did Spartans become great in battle with comfort? Did the French revolution rise out from comfort? Did the American’s stand up for freedom in comfort? Did Martin Luther King Jr. die for equal rights comfortably? Hell no!”

Notes

I started writing this randomly, and it inspired me... I know, I know, I inspired myself. But honestly I think we all know that anything can happen when we sit down and write something. When you sit back and look at what you've written, it can surprise you.

I feel like I could go and run 10 kms. And die.
But thankyou! This inspired me because I've been training to get back into running, and I'm running in this 2km race on Saturday. Fingers crossed it all goes well! But this um, reminded me that of course it won't be comfortable. :D
