Through the generosity of a giving parent I was taught to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. By affording me and my siblings the joys of childhood I was taught to relish in the warmth of a sunny day, to appreciate the value of a good friend, and to play. Through the hardship of poverty I was taught to work hard and to appreciate the hard work of others. Through love, optimism, and a kind hand I was taught to appreciate the many principles of life which transform an individual into a person.
With dreams all things are possible. One of my parents was an optimist and always looking at the happy side of life while the other was a pessimist constantly living in worry of what the future would hold. With the two opposing forces influencing the direction my life would take I learned early in my childhood which philosophy I wanted to carry with me into my future. We are offered many influences and choices so we must choose which of these it is that we will allow to direct our life.
You are Strong. You will find the courage to walk the pathway to a fulfilling life. You have the power within yourself to believe in the decisions you must make to move forward. Give to yourself without taking from another. Find ways to maintain an optimistic outlook.
Be optimistic. I learned early in life there are many doors which can open for you. My father was a highly optimistic person and from the moment that he hopped out of bed each morning he carried with him an intense excitement for what each new day would hold. He taught myself and my siblings to believe in hope, magic, and miracles. He taught us to look forward to each new day with the same optimism as he did. He taught us to dream.
My life has held many challenges but I would not ask to change one minute of any day that I have lived because it is what has made me what I am today. I am strong, resilient, and determined. The life I have lived has made me this way. I am blessed to be surrounded by individuals who love me and I am blessed in being able to love in return. I have been touched by many angels throughout my lifetime and I thank each and every one who came my way. I pray that the blessings will be returned to them.I love my life.
