"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 down 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 "whys" and "what ifs" and rid yourself of confusion. 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.

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

Each and every time I read these words and become inspired by these thoughts I am truly blessed. I hope and pray that you feel likewise.
