Be a Story Worth Telling


  open your mind      go with your heart and soul and be a story worth telling
life begins at the edge so step into your fear   and just let go  (I can and I will)
 inspire    to be inspired   if your dream is not scary    it is not amazing enough
      a challenge can change you in unfathomable ways   never give up (never)
find your purpose in life   and happiness will be your reward    change rejected
         into re-directed   inspire   to be inspired   think beyond yourself   always
and let your dreams make you great     be your own wonderful       inspiration
life is like a garden   plant it   water it well and it will grow   strong and healthy
     don't be afraid to fall or to fail   (to be not perfect)   pick up all the shattered
 pieces (put the puzzle back together)  sometimes the wrong choice is right . . .
