A Story in 100 Words
When opening your eyes becomes more of a chore than it’s worth, open them.
When your shoes are loaded with lead and moving forward becomes more of a chore than it’s worth, keep moving.
When nothing tastes right, and eating seems more of a chore than it's worth, eat.
When you can’t laugh, and smiling seems more of a chore than it’s worth, laugh.
When the only water you taste is from your tears, go to your faucet.
When you don’t want to try anymore? That’s when you must try harder.
No, it’s not gonna be easy …but you must.
