It's Up To Me

This life is the only one
You are given.
Look for opportunities to grow,
And never be discouraged
In your efforts to do so.
Replace your weaknesses
With positives:

Take life's broken pieces
And re-create your dreams.
Never measure the future
by the past;

Let yesterday become a memory
And tomorrow a promise.
Begin each day by focusing
On all that is good,

And you'll be in a position
To handle whatever comes along.

Take responsibility for your actions;

Never make excuses
For not being the best you can be.

If you should slip,
Be comforted by the thought
That we all do at times.
Determine your tomorrow
By the choices you make today,
And you'll find yourself living
In joy and triumph.

-Linda E. Knight
