- Go to The Boxing Match We call Life
The metaphor of life being a boxing match make sense. We find ourselves having to get up when we are knocked down.

Sage advice. I get exactly where you are coming from. I have been humbled by my knockouts, and I am thankful I survived and learned from them. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. 💪

Wise words here! If something takes 90 times to do before one gets it accomplished it only means there were 89 times it didn't work. Go until it's accomplished!

Re: Mike.....Taps
What a blessing to reach your 89th year. You are definitely a successful Warrior. My Mom is heading there in December.

Kindness has a payoff for giver and receiver. I've stood my ground at times, and it seems Karma visits those who take unfair advantage sooner or later.

Mike.....
I would say that definitely knockouts were not my forte.....but, when it was important to me, I stood my ground. Still here in my 89th year and the Lord is definitely with me.
