To Get What You Want Out of Life

It takes believing in your dreams and in what you know to be true.
Surviving disappointments and the times when you're truly alone.

Awakening to see what you have made it through the difficult times
with only yourself to depend on.

It takes facing the truth that only you can shape your destiny.

Realizing that the footsteps you take today are the ones that will lead you into tomorrow,
and they must be guided by an unswerving faith in yourself.

Understanding that the failures, setbacks and hurts life often gives us all only serve as steppingstones to true happiness -

and if you follow the trail instead or turning back,
only then you will recognize your strengths and be able
to view life from the summit.
