"I wasn't born just to suffer" the man who can't give up

@kennyhouser3467

That statement needs to be more relevant to everyone. I remember being at that point in a psyche ward after some tough military shit and asking myself something similar. I think mine was along the lines of "is this what life is now? I made it out of that shit storm alive only to be miserable for the rest of my days? Nah, fuck that." I started to actually listen to the process, accept that I wasn't weak for needing help, and stopped taking all the stop gap drugs that doctor's love to shovel into people's mouths to numb them rather than help them try to fix the problem. I was told after my first trip to the psyche ward that my functionality in "normal life" was going to be severely hampered. After the 2nd trip they had all but given up on me. Saying the equivalent of "he's lost. If someone isn't taking care of him, he will end up homeless on the street and likely dead within a year." It took until that 3rd trip, about a year and a half of solid misery, a divorce, and losing everything before I asked myself that question and I'm glad I did. That hole I crawled out of was about 10 years ago and I haven't looked back once. There are some situations that are unavoidable. Some people are born with shit hands and others don't play their cards right and end up with shit hands because of their choices. If there's one thing I've learned throughout the entire process, it's that your mindset makes all the difference. The choice to change is always just a few thoughts and questions away. Some roads are harder than others but the choice to dig yourself out is always there.

It shouldn't be about giving up or not. It is absolutely fucked that some people are born to suffer in the same country as those who live in mansions, or where medicine exists but they can't have it because they cannot pay for it. Francis managed to find a way out, and that is just as much luck as determination. Many children have accidents in those working conditions, his mother was obviously determined to look after him, he didn't contract a life altering, or ending, disease. He didn't give up, no, but he shouldn't have had to struggle through that in the first place. I would hope that documentaries like this, and people like FN who escaped from those situations to find success, will lead to a change there, but it won't.

Oli DR it’s not fucked at all. Different souls need different experiences to grow into their potential. Life is about constant growth not comfort and stagnation. Francis was strong enough to overcome his circumstances and turned them into a blessing instead of a curse. He is an example to everyone he influences of what is possible. No one can help another person change if the person doesn’t want to change themselves.

I hope Francis knows that God answered his prayers & fulfilled his dreams of a man strengthened by God to inspire more kids than he ever hoped for. Francis said he was always dreaming about a man that would come and through inspiration make a difference in his life as a kid but unfortunately that man never came, but Francis didn't realize that man didn't exist yet & God knew He needed to create a miracle so much bigger than a dream to inspire one little kid that God sent Himself as Francis's guide & mentor inspiring him every day to become the very man Francis prayed for for himself, he needed to become the man he dreamed for in order to inspire not just one kid but millions of kids, & not just in Africa but kids around the entire world for decades to come. God sent Francis to be the man of his dreams to inspire kids everywhere forever....

The heavyweight division is in a tough spot with multiple contenders that deserve a title shot. However it is undeniable that Ngannou is next after DC. He is such a beacon of kindness and inspiration. A great representative of the sport, which is ironic because he is the scariest looking man on the roster.
