Don’t judge…
You have no idea…
You don’t know anything…
You see a person struggling to squat with 50kg, struggling to run a lap, struggling to jump, lunge or climb.
You think it is lack of motivation…
Lack of will…
Lack of strength…
Lack of conditioning…
Lack of effort…
But you don’t know anything!
You see him struggling, but you can’t see the unseen.
You can’t look through him and take a look at his soul…
You can’t feel what he felt…
You don’t see the pain that weighs like a burden on his back…
Today he is struggling to squat with 50kg, but yesterday he was in bed, struggling for his life, doubting he will ever walk again…
And today he is there battling! Battling to live, battling to get rid of the pain, the past and the memory!
You don’t know anything!
He is struggling to run a lap, but you can’t see the invisible weight on his back- the memories that are tearing him inside, the disappointment, betrayals and lost dreams.
You don’t know anything.
You can’t understand it if you haven’t felt it!
Trying to walk while others run…
Everybody thinks you are not good enough, not strong enough, not athletic enough…
Making fun of you…making jokes behind your back…
But the truth is that no matter how incapable he looks in your eyes, it is a triumph for him!
He knows where he was yesterday. He knows what he went through.
You know nothing about his injuries, pain, obstacles…
Everybody has his own burdens…his own weight to carry!
You might not always see it but it is there!
Don’t judge people.
They might be way stronger than you could possibly imagine!
Instead of labeling people, calling their names, go ahead and help them.
Sometimes the person that seems weak in your eyes, could be the strongest person you will have the opportunity to meet!
Help him and he might help you to become greater!
