Fight Like a Man

Filed under: Uncategorized — twelton @ 5:26 pm

What are your personal non-negotiables? 

What are the things that you are so committed to that you refuse to compromise them? The things you are willing to die for to defend.

Let’s list some.
Your favorite sports team? No. I don’t think anyone would die defending that.
Your favorite NASCAR driver?
How about your favorite wrassler?
Your city? State?
I have seen people actually fight over these things but not so much of the things that follow.

How about your wife and kids?
Your integrity?
Your faith?
Your God?
How many of us are more committed to our favorite sports team than we are to our wives and kids? Do you turn off the TV to spend time with them? Do you forsake a night out with your pals or do you forsake your family?
And how many of us forsake our God for things of less importance? And for those trying to figure it out, everything is of less importance.
People will argue and even come to blows over things of less importance but will refuse to get on their knees and fight for the things of greater importance. God, family, friends, things of greater importance.

Fight for them…..fight like a man…… on your knees.
Remember, your character is the only thing you really leave behind when you leave here. What will people remember about you?
