You know, whenever I think of my heroes,
it’s never the champions that come to mind…
the ones who can hit harder, or always save the day.
No. Honestly, it’s the ones who take all hits I admire most.
The ones who have to battle each day, just to be here,
because anyone can be win a fight.
It’s a lot harder to lose one, and choose to stand back up anyway,
knowing full well you will get knocked down again.
I know now that strength is not measured by how much you’ve won,
the only strength that matters is built up brick by brick
from your losses.

No. Honestly, it’s the ones who take all hits I admire most.
The ones who have to battle each day, just to be here,

It’s a lot harder to lose one, and choose to stand back up anyway,
knowing full well you will get knocked down again.
I know now that strength is not measured by how much you’ve won,
the only strength that matters is built up brick by brick
from your losses.
Sometimes just being here takes all the strength in the world. No one gets to decide what your tough looks like.
