I remember every failure, every mistake and bad choice I ever made.

There was a time when I dwelled on them and beat myself up for all the poor decisions I had ever made..

Until I started to realize that I wasn’t getting anything positive out of all the negativity.

I began to evolve and understand that the storms of life don’t come crashing down on you to punish you, but to teach you.

Once I began to paying attention to the lessons I could learn from every challenge, my life began to change.

I began to change.

Pain without purpose is empty and I wanted so much more than that…

So I began to evolve and grow.

That made all the difference in the world, in my life.

And sure, it was great when I reached a goal and conquered my day, but the reward was fleeting.

That catapulted me into the next obstacle, battle or storm…

And I kept showing up, I kept fighting back and I kept growing.

Little by little and day by day, I inched closer to the person I felt destined to become..

And the harder I pushed,the higher I climbed.

Until one day, I looked back over my shoulder and was amazed at just how far I had come.

But now?

That wasn’t enough.

With a twinkle in my eye and fire in my heart, I pushed ahead to my dreams.

I don’t know how I will get there or when, but I feel good about the road ahead.

After all, my strength, tenacity and willpower was never forged by my success..

But by failure, rock bottom and heartache.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.
