what i want you to know

What I want you to know is that there are moments that I do not know where I am going.  I put one foot in front of the other and just keep moving.  I am unsure of the path ahead of me, but know that I can no longer sit still.  

What I want you to know is that it isn't always easy.  I have stumbled and fallen down more times that you will ever know.  There has been pain, deep deep pain.  Heartache has taken my breathe away and tears have fallen.  But I have survived and I have preserved.  

What I want you to know is that all of my grand plans didn't work out.  There were times when I fell flat on my face.  When others weren't sure what I was doing.  When I made of fool of myself or got lost along the way.  

What I want you to know is that it isn't always easy.  The world isn't going to hand you exactly what you want in a pretty perfect package.  You have to put in the hard work.  You have to try.  And sometimes no matter how hard you try it doesn't work out.  

What I want you to know is that sometimes you will shift courses.  New things will open up to you that you didn't even knew existed and you will be intrigued and enthralled.  You will begin a new journey and you will not know where it is going.  

What I want you to know is that things are always changing.  Nothing stays the same forever.  You have to keep your heart open.  Your feet moving.  And your dreams alive.  

What I want you to know is that along the way you have to give thanks and show gratitude.  You must stay humble and kind.  When you share yourself with others you are doing a service to this world and spreading love.  

What I want you to know is that I never thought that I would be standing where I am today.  But I am here and I am happy.  And life isn't perfect but it is pretty awesome.  And when we appreciate the awesome more of it comes.  

What I want you to know is that you will never get another today, so make it count.
