Battle cry Be strong and flexible Bend but don't break Don't let your fire go out Stoke that flame Reignite hope in the spark of your dreams Because there's a hero inside your soul The world you desire can be won It's real It exists It's possible And it's yours You know, whenever I'm feeling down or my mission feels really, really heavy Or the critics are at their loudest I always think about this story I heard about Mother Teresa Mother Teresa was being interviewed by a really cynical reporter He was kind of mocking her with every single question And finally this reporter looked at her and said, You're just a little woman in the middle of nowhere Do you really think that you can change the world Surprisingly, Mother Teresa looked back at that reporter and laughed in his face She reached down and she picked up a rock that was by her foot, Looked back up at the man and said, no I do not think that I can change the world alone But what I can do is I can get up every single day Pick up my stone and cast it out upon the waters and cause many ripples Ever since I heard that story, that's been my battle cry As soon as my eyes open and see the sun I don't have to carry the burden of the entire world on my shoulders I just have to pick up my stone, cast it out upon the waters and cause a ripple And that ripple will go forward and hit somebody else And then that person will pick up their stone They will cast it out upon the waters too And their ripple will go on and hit the next person And on and on it goes until that first ripple from that first stone Causes a chain reaction That changes the world So remember, when your mission feels heavy, when your critics are at their loudest All you have to do is reach down, pick up your stone Cast it out upon the waters and cause many ripples Because none of us have to change the world alone None of us have to change the world The only thing that stays the same is change So face the giant, slay your fears, step into your destiny and don't look back Forget what's in the past and press forward Forget what happened last night, last month or even last year Forgive yourself and forgive them if you have to as well You're not going to find your future in the rear view mirror And there's no pride in poverty I've been broke and I've been rich and I'll choose rich over being poor every time The reason a lot of people don't recognize opportunity is Because it usually disguises itself as hard work When did you get so comfortable When did you decide to let your foot off the gas Success is your duty Comfort is a killer to success and your ultimate potential Choose wisely what you do with your time and your actions Choose power over weakness because what you do today echoes into eternity Today your demons die It's never too late for redemption Don't give a foothold to that garbage ever again You are a new creation, born again, unshakable Do that which you're afraid to do and the death of fear is certain Wouldn't you rather die for a purpose than live a meaningless life This is a battle cry to give you permission to dream again A battle cry to take risks again To step into the unknown Grab the shield of faith I thought quitting my job was the ultimate dream I thought becoming an entrepreneur would give me respect I thought starting a business would give me financial freedom I thought six and seven figures a year was the ultimate goal But it's about the journey, not the destination It's about waking up every morning with a sense of purpose Knowing that you're serving and helping people That you're making a difference Making an impact that will outlive you Something you can pass down to your kids and the next generation When I hear, well done, good and faithful servant Don't be paralyzed by fear Turn that anxiety into anticipation Get excited This is a battle cry for your life, your dreams and your legacy This is a battle cry
