We cannot change
certain features of our
physical
appearance.
What we can
change is how we
feel about it.
We cannot change a
pain-filled past.
What we can do is
change how it
affects us.
We cannot change
how others may
feel about who we are and where we've
been.
What we can
change
is how we
see it, how we use it and how others use
it to our benefit
or
detriment.
The past has already been written,
but we have the power to write the
future, based on who we are and what we
do now. Only
we can write a
future based on self-support and
respect.
We can write a future
based on how much
we have grown.
We can write a future
full of strength,
peace, wealth and love.
All we have to do is what is right,
right now.
