First Post - a personal note to self

The first post is always a tough one. Where do I start? How do I begin? Instead of trying to come up with something clever or waste countless hours to come up with a catchy phrase, I decided to be myself. This is me. The good and the bad.

For most of my life, I grew up thinking I could do anything. Like most young ones I had dreams of conquering the world. Somewhere along the way, I lost faith in this idea. I began to think I was only as good as what I was doing right then and there. Most of the time, it wasn't a whole lot. How did this happen? How did I loose myself in skepticism and negativity? Perhaps it was too many disappointments or heartbreaks. Perhaps it was the world telling me I wasn't good enough. Whatever the reason, I lost it.

I am now on a mission to regain my sense of conquering self and find out what I can do. I would like to side note and say that I believe with all my heart that only with God is anything possible. Now that I have realized that, I have also realized what it means to actually live life. To live with a purpose. Wow, it's so much better to have something to live for than to feel like your wandering around grasping at what you think might be real.

I am no longer scared of what the world might think. I'm also no longer concerned with what the world thinks is possible. I've listened to the world and it's left me wasting my time worrying about my waist size and complexion. I've been distracted by what I'm not for too long. I'm only interested now in gaining freedom to know that there is no limit to what I can be. No limit to love, no limit to life and no limit to the possibilities.

This blog is dedicated to regaining what my mother has always believed about me. With God, dedication and a little insanity: Anything is possible.
