Some Will Rise, Others Will Falter

Michael Dahdal April 7, 20241 min read

Adversity introduces a man to himself.

It’s in that moment, we get to find out who you really are.

We get to stare into your soul and see what you’re made of

It’s then when we get to see whether your talk is cheap

Whether you have the strength and courage

It’s in that moment, when we get to see what it is you value

What you stand for,

Because everyone is ok when things are going well, 

But when things begin to falter, the truth is quickly revealed.

Some will rise and conquer

Others will look for a way out, for an excuse

And sell their souls to the devil

You must look at yourself in the mirror and decide which you want to be.

Because the stakes have never been higher, 

And the world has never relied on you more.

  • The Decision of No Decision
    by Michael Dahdal
    Indecision is a decision in and of itself, even though you may not recognise it as such. Your decision to do nothing – to let things play out on their own. It’s taking a back seat and waiting to see how the chips may fall.

    Taking Your Second Chance
    by Michael Dahdal
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    Symphony of Sadness
    by Michael Dahdal
    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    by Michael Dahdal
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.

    Leaving It All Behind
    by Michael Dahdal
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
