As I sit and ponder upon things that life has taught me, I begin to realize just how much I have truly learned. There have been some amazing times, and some times that made me wonder weather or not life was truly worth living. As the day begins to draw nigh, things are put into perspective. No matter what i have been through, or the places I have been, I always seem to find that I am right where I need to be. The things I have learned can be summed up in not so many word. Life can be one truly amazing adventure if you learn to open your heart as well as your mind. A dear friend of mine once said that no matter what life throws your way, you have to get up and figure out what the lesson was that life was trying to teach you. No matter what I have been through, I have learned that no one ever said life would be easy, but then again is anything worth doing ever easy? We will find that life will knock us down and try to keep us down, but that is when you have to learn to pick yourself up, dust off the failure and get back into the race. No matter where you come from, you must never forget just what it took you to get where you are today. Believe in yourself and your abilities and you will find that no matter what, you do have the strength to carry on and truly accomplish just what it is that life has to teach you.
