Here's one of those truths that i console myself with lately. I find it real.

Here it goes:::

There comes a time in your life when you realize,

that if you stand still,
you will remain at this point forever.

You realize,
that if you fall
and stay down,
life will pass you by.
Life's circumstances
are not always what you might wish them to be.

The pattern of Life, does not necessarily go as you plan.

Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in different directions
that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed.

Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path,
or tried to carry out your dream,
then perhaps ,
you would have no direction at all...

Rather than wondering about
or questioning the direction your life has taken,
accept the fact
that there is a path before you-- now.

Shake off the "why's" and "what if's" .
And rid yourself of confusion.
Whatever was--is in the past.
Whatever is--- is what's important.
The past is a brief reflection.
The Future is yet to be realized.
Today is here.
Walk your path one step at a time--with courage, faith, and determination.

Keep your head up, and cast your dreams to the stars.

Soon your steps
will become firm,
and your footing
will be solid again.

A Path that you never imagined
will become the most comfortable direction
you could have ever hoped to follow.

Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey. You will find it magnificent,spectacular, and beyond your wildest imaginings.
