Stepping Forward

With renewed dedication I step forward and away from the abyss of past failures to a new day and a new awakening of my slumbering spirit…

No longer will I unwillingly cater to the grip of disappointments… Just like the Phoenix rose from its own ashes, so will I…

With gusto, with vigor and with faith, I step unto the light accepting the challenges before me as part of my destiny…

Clouded visions, bad decisions, weakness of the past are fading fast…

I am stepping forward…Doesn’t matter if others don’t like it…

I am stepping forward…Fighting self no longer…

I am stepping forward…Bringing the lessons I have learned from my ancestors with me…

I am stepping forward…Waiting and anticipating the benefits of positive change…

Taking whole control of my responsibilities…

Taking control of all those self-induced holes that I allowed to grow and control me…

It’s not about them, it’s about me, and I am stepping forward because greatness is getting tired of waiting on me…

Step forward...greatness is tired of waiting on me.

Wonderful.

Time to make your dreams count.
