What is struggle?


Stuck behind these walls when the sun is shining.

Living in a dream, because reality is never as beautiful.

Struggle is that next bend you don't know if you can make around, the mountain that doesn't get smaller.

Every time we let fear, fear of adventure or rejection overwhelm us, it's letting struggle ovecome our power.

Opening a window in a closed room.

Controlling reality so it's more beautiful than dreams.

So what makes struggle real, is he moment of overcoming it.
