If we do not, sometimes, find ourselves
encountering a barrier between
where we are and where we want to be,
then how would we know if where we want to go
is actually the place where we are meant to be?
Because when we find ourselves
encountering something stopping us
from proceeding down the road
we know leads to the next step in our life,
the question is: what will we do to keep going?
What will we do to break through the walls
that sometimes rise up before us?
What will we use to make sure that
nothing and no one will ever stand between us
in our pursuit of what we believe is meant for us to possess and to embrace?

Happiness; the truth; peace; security;
serenity; light; love; dignity; discovery -
every day, some people are driven 
in such profound, powerful, beautiful, and inspiring ways,
because they believe they are supposed to be
somewhere, doing something, for someone,
and they will do anything to make
something happen that needs to happen…
some people are always ready and willing
to be called into action when they are needed…
some people are so selfless that they regularly
volunteer to put their own lives on the line
for someone who they don’t know
and most likely have never met before,
because something inside them
is always telling them that they are
more important than the realise
and one day might be the last piece in the puzzle that brings order to chaos.

Despite what some might say,
it’s never wrong to fight for what you believe in…
despite how much some people might try
and drown you out,
it’s never wrong to say when someone is wrong
and you can prove that they are…
despite what some people might believe,
it’s never the wrong time to start something new
and to do what you have always wanted to do…
despite how much some people think you have,
or they do not have, everyone can always find
something, or perhaps someone, in this world
that can give them the best possible chance
of being able to make a difference in their life,
and perhaps in the life of others,
simply by having the courage and the ability
to never stop being themselves,
to never stop striking out when the need arises,
to never stop trying, striving, and sometimes fighting
for what they and others believe and know to be true,
to never stop learning from the mistakes of the past,
and never stop overcoming
what lies before them until it is behind them -
because sometimes we all have to do our part,
to make our mark, to contribute to the world
by going against the grain,
by rebelling against the enemies of freedom,
and by swearing to uphold the values
of the best of humanity,
and by showing what it is to be the embodiment
of what it means to be a member
of the always necessary resistance.
