I have been captivated by a show about aspiring singers and how they have to do battle against each other to see who shines brighter on the stage that they all want to call home.  All of the contestants are talented in their own way and have a unique musical quality to their voices.  I find it sometimes difficult to see them do something that utilizes their musical gifts with such passion, while they are vulnerable to being sent home at the end.  These individuals definitely show courage and conviction about their devotion, while showing the world that if they go down, they will do so with a fighting spirit.  Those intangible qualities that speak to the will of somebody who is pursuing their dream and throws caution to the wind in their pursuit, are people I will always admire.  The great qualities of a human story filled with perseverance has also been the subject of many best selling books through out history.  We always want to root for the underdog or the person that appeared to have very little chance in succeeding and when they do, we are all on the side lines cheering for those individuals.  The fight and substance that is the make up of each person around you will vary based upon what that person is motivated by and their values.  Rarely does a parent not put up a fight for their own child in any circumstance and you can see that passion in almost any parent's eyes.  Some people are great advocates for social justice and they can bring their fervor to a tumultuous exchange that can highlight their formidable attribute.  When you think about the many things that challenge you, aspire to use the passion within you to meet and overcome those challenges with great resolve.  If it is something worth fight for, then your ardent feelings will truly illuminate your journey and more than likely you will be declared the victor in the end.
