Rise Above
A common statement has been made to me by most all who have contacted me since I have been here. "Don't let this drag you down." My answer is, it can't. This is a situation that was necessary in order to show myself that hardships are needed to remind us of what is good in life. I will never regret the things I have done in my life. This leads me to think of a question asked of me long ago that I will pose to each of you. If you could change anything in your life would you? If so what and why.
My answer once again is NO!! If I was to change anything bad in my life it could only serve to destroy those fond memories that accompany it. To me the removal of life's obstacles or avoiding them only leads to the weakening of one's spirit. Running away never solves anything. Only when we face our fears can we grow as a species. Stand up and take responsibility for your life. Don't concern yourself with the consequences of bad choices-- they only serve to strengthen you.
