The Power of Change Is In Your Hands

Life is a set of circumstances that
you can change, improve,
and make better day by day.
It's your decision; it's in your hands.
Just like the potter at the wheel, you are
the force that turns and moves
the clay into a thing of beauty.
Like the painter's brush depicting
something fresh and new and picturesque,
you can create the scenery that's best for you.

Each person has rhe power to take
control of every circumstances in life -
to change, improve,
and make it better day by day.
Not one of us can say;
"I must accept whatever comes my way"
because the way we choose to go
through life is our decision.
The power of change is always
in your hands.

To Get What You Want Out Of Life...

It takes bvelieving in your dreams
and in what you know to be true.
Surviving disappointments
and the times when
you're truly alone.
Awakening to see that 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 hurst
life often gives us all
only services as steppingstones
to true happiness -
and if you follow the trail
instead of turning back,
only then will you recognize
your strengths
and be able to view life.
from the summit.
