Fire doesn't ask permission.

The forge burns whether you walk in or not. Every day you avoid the hard thing, the fire just waits. It doesn't go out because you're not ready.

Steel doesn't negotiate with heat. A blade doesn't form in lukewarm water. The men who became unbreakable didn't wait until it was convenient — they walked into the flames when everything in them screamed to turn back.

You can stay soft. The world has plenty of room for that. Or you step into the forge and let the fire decide what you're made of.
