One Moment

In his hit song 'Lose Yourself', Eminem said - Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?

Every day, we are given 24 hours. Within that 24 hours, there are 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. On the average, people stay away from about 9 to 16 hours per day.

This means that we are each given countless moments throughout each day. Throughout each of these moments, we have choices to make. During these moment, we might hear that small, still voice tell us to give up. It tells us we are no good, we are worthless, we are nothing, we are not loved, we'll never be good enough, you don't matter, nobody cares about you, and the like. Sometimes in these moments people think about suicide or giving up on their dreams. Sometimes, it might just be feeling like a failure during these moments.

During these moments, we make decisions to keep going or give up. If we give up, we fail. If we keep going, we win. Vin Diesel said in Fast and the Furious that winning is winning, whether it's by an inch or a mile.

If you are struggling today, remember there are countless moments in each given day, and progress is progress, no matter how big or small.

Remember: Just for this moment, you are okay. Just for this moment, you are good enough. Just for this moment, you are adequate. Just for this moment, you are winning. Just for this moment, you are loved. Just for this moment, you are worthy. Just for this moment, giving up is not an option. Just for this moment, suicide is not the answer and help is available. Just for this moment, you are making progress.

Good night Mi Familia,

Peace and love to all
