I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible

…a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
…sometimes we walk alone

The odds are with you if you keep on trying.
You cannot be beaten at anything,
until you quit … in your own mind.
There is no defeat except from within,
no really insurmountable barrier
save your own inherent weakness of purpose.
There is no failure except in no longer trying.

I’ve viewed the world from lofty heights
I’ve flown just like a dove

On mountaintops above.

And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
