    When she said this is enough, she didn’t need a picture or anything, that the human connection was enough. That was beautiful and I hope the whole world can realize this soon.

    “Boxing is a sport of self-control. You must understand fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you’re hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you….Fear is a friend of exceptional people.”

      Funny you say that.. but I don’t agree.. on a Spiritual scale… ✨👑God showed me in the spirit demons carry fear on them as a flame 🔥 carries heat.. so that fear you talk about demons carry and punks use to intimidate… fear is a friend to know body but The devil, demons, evil spirits and humans who are possessed by such. 2 Timothy 1:7 For 👑God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of (((POWER))) Love, and a SOUND MIND!!

I've not been in any trouble since , like you , i was a victim of circumstance , although the errors i made that set me back i claim as my own and thankfully lessons were learned .
