Life's Chalkboard
What would I, my friends and my family write on this chalkboard? in the beginning the things we regret...
And in the end how would we feel when we realize we have a clean slate to write on in our lives each and every day ...
We make choices ...
But we can't get to new dreams.. doing the things we used to do ... What will be our Legacy?
We have to brave enough try things we've never done, face fears we've never faced .. apologize to people we've hurt ,,,
We have to be brave enough to continue this journey ...
We have to be brave enough to meet new people...
Fear is a big one ...
We can scared of so many things ...
Fear is not generally a fact , but an emotion ... yet it feels so real at the time it orginates...
Fear can stop us from doing so many good things ...
Because we're afraid to fail ...
But the irony is the more we fail the more we succeed...
And then question is did we really fail? or we succeeding ?
its really a matter of perspective , and what you define as successful...
After all this failing ,
Comes Experience ,
Refining of our character ..
The building of inner strength and determination and resiliency
Learning the importance of Life in its many different facets
For me i think its important that we never want to give up on ourselves...
Each day is a blessing ...
Tomorrow is not promised ...
So enjoy the precious moments you have .. hold on to those
Those are the ones youll tell your grandchildren ,
One day i know i'll be sitting on my porch telling stories
About my life to the neighbourhood kids ...
I don't want to tell them i didn't live life ...
I don't want them i never went on adventures ...
Or that i never did anything interesting ...
I want to tell them about all the amazing people ive met , from the strangers on the street that i never saw again, to the the people that helped and no reason to ,The people who wanted to be My friends in the bad times as well as the good ...
The people who gave me hope , where there seemed to be none , the people who loved me for no reason but to love me ...the people who used me for thier own selfish intentions...i would love to teach them all i could about people ...
And of course i want to warm them that everyone has true intentions , Not everyone who says things mean them ...
But I want them to feel like they come and visit me , while i rock on my chair on some of the quiet afternoons ...
I want to tell the kids i love them ... And pass on anything could be concieved as wisedom ...
That's the Lady i want to be ...
I don't want to be the old Lady crying because ... never did anything i wanted to .. I dont want to be the Old Lady to scared to love ... to scared to dream...to scared to grow old..
I don't want to be the Old Lady who only has cats for friends...
No I wont be her .... I refuse to be her...
I won't let my spirit of adventure die...
I wont give up me ... to be with someone...
But if hes the right one , he'll be ready to either come or let my enjoy my adventures on my own..
I won't die alone ...
I won't die unloved...
I won't die without memories ...
Who do you want to be ? ... Man or woman I think its worth thinking about ...
What will your legacy be ?
