This is the theme of the movie about Seabiscuit. A broken down owner, trainer, jockey and horse all come together to created the perfect team.

I tell ya, it’s been a hard thing to find my balance with this thing called Lyme. It’s hard to figure out how to live with this mess of a sickness – lots of changing symptoms, so much pain, unpredictable days. Some days it feels easy to give up.

You don’t throw a whole life away just because it’s a little banged up.

Seabiscuit – trainer

My life may be hard and I may need to take a lot of breaks, but I’m gonna keep fighting.

Another great quote from the same movie – the turning point really:

Either you pack up and you go home or you keep fighting!

And that’s my new motto. Yeah yeah, throw a pity party, just don’t unpack and live there – still an important concept to live by.

But keep fighting. And it is a fight.

You’re worth it. Even if you’re more than a little banged up.
