about
At 34, I can say that I've learned a number of lessons that I had never planned on learning. I've also learned things about myself that I had never known before. Through love, and even through hurt, pain, and failure, I can't say that I've lost a thing. Some of my worst experiences have led me to finding myself.
Where I used to focus on who or what I wasn't good enough for, I now chase the clouds. In one of his best selling books, Paul Arden states that, "Firstly you need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you are incapable of." With this mentality, I don't believe it is possible to even know what you CAN'T do. And like Amy Winehouse, I "still stand in spite of what [my] scars say." Staying positive through negativity has always kept me one step ahead of any of my worst fears.
