I have discovered that true forgiveness is the key to being happy for me. Things from the past that were hurtful have only lingered because I held onto the hurt. Letting go of those feelings was not easy but necessary for me to follow the path I my life to go.

I have also discovered that motivation is not in the words of another but between my own ears. I am the person I chose to become and not defined by friends, family or strangers.

I do not have to find excuses for my failures for they are a forward step to my successes and without them I will never realize my full potential.

I am blessed to have a wonderful partner who never questions the craziness of being with a person who works strictly on commission. Red understands my drive, my need to be free from a 8-5 job.

I was just thinking about all of this and decided to write it down. It feels pretty good!
