sometimes to appreciate where you are

you need to remember how far you've come

the past has shaped and formed your character, your outlook on life

in every capacity

and as you assess your current stance

you discover that all you've walked through....the joys, the sorrow,

the loss and the gain

are all vital parts that make up the structure of who you are

each fight or struggle taken by force

and made to surrender

passivity is no longer a choice

pressing on to your next challenge

is the only option left

so go!

find what lies within you!

conquer, overcome and let those obstacles take you higher

in that place is where you realize

your true strength
