It Is Important

To Us

'even if the odds are against you'

“When something is important enough,

you do it

even if the odds are not in your favour”

Is it ‘Important Enough’ to you and I?

When there is a Reason behind doing something,

“It” is achieved

whatever the circumstances.

This can apply to many things in Life

and, to some,

even Life Itself

can seem to have the ‘odds stacked against It’.

I’ve been reading about the nurses

who served during the First World War,

at home and abroad.

Many times

it looked like everything was against them,

especially when the enemy was bombing

the makeshift hospitals.

Their sheer Resilience

to do whatever they could

to help the wounded soldiers —

and the ‘odds’ really were against them —

saved many lives,

with many nurses

receiving medals for their bravery.

Our lives

are in no way like theirs was back then,

which gives us Hope today.

When someone is going through treatment for cancer,

they fight it ‘all the way’,

and many are winning.

Again,

are our personal lives

anything like theirs?

Attitude

and a certain Positive way of thinking

will always get us through “It”

because it is Important

to us personally.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
