Self-Progression

As I sit here and think about life and the direction I am headed, I can't help but let my mind wander. This journey we are all on is a confusing and a difficult one. As I reminisce about my past and what has made me the person I am today, I am left with the thought of who I will be tomorrow. All I know is that I can take steps every day to try and improve, and dedicate myself to becoming the person I believe I am meant to be. We are all guilty of making mistakes. If we can learn to walk with life in stride, and learn from those mistakes, there is a positive lesson to be gained. In my younger years I used to write all the time to express myself, somewhere along the line that stopped and other things began to take weight in my life. Things usually end up coming full circle when we least expect them too. As I let my thoughts flow, I realize I can only be myself. My grammar and punctuation may not be perfect, and I am not a professional writer. Although these thoughts are my own and intended solely for my own self-progression, if they benefit someone else then great. A lot of questions race through my mind about life, and what's intended for us all. Simply making money, and working the 9-5 grind can't be it. There has to be more, something that's bigger than me. Something bigger than the world I'm confined too. I carry a lot of pain inside that no one will ever see. I hold onto things from my past that I probably shouldn't. Things that have the potential to rip me apart and tear me down inside. I let the pain of the people closest to me ride on my shoulders and entwine the depths of my mind. I feel like the weight I am meant to carry in this world is heavy. I am unaware of the roots of it all, but feel deep down I am strong enough to carry it. In my darkest hours I remain hopeful, and believe in myself to the core. I was given the gift of hope. Sitting here listening to instrumentals has my mind floating even farther away. As long as we all believe and dare to dream, all things are possible. Somewhere a long the line, we stop dreaming and give into societies pressure and stress. Everyone was meant to shine, we just have to reach deep within. Find that light on the other side.
