"Ride of Life"

 


We are the first break of light...

That soft whisper of another beginning...

When darkness fades into bright...

As this gentle reminder speaks to you

Keep your focus ahead of your feet aiming forward

You are not lost...

You are just in that uncomfortable stage in life where you are transitioning

The old you is now gone...

And your new self is not fully born yet

Because some moments do try to destroy us

It is the gift within hardship now understood

Life is constant learning...

There will be significant times of struggle

Periods of calm...

And then unbearable pain...

It's not all bad, and it's not all good...

That is why some refer to it as the ride of life

It's the up and down, the unfair and real, and the mixture of it all with us embraced in between

Our journey will always continue in one form or another

And this is where we get to choose

If you are actively digging through the pieces...

That is a conscious decision...

If you are going to unearth it, you might as well unbox it, and sort through it

Make the attempt in healing

Allow it to hurt a little less

The sins of another do not define us

Those who only ever violate our boundaries

Are thieves, stealing everything that does not belong to them

Turn wounds into wisdom gained

Accept full responsibility for your life by making your decision known

Mistakes do not define everything that we are

Growth comes from all experience

It gives us the determination to succeed

Our past should stay where it is and be left laid to rest

Making our new beginning better than any setback ever was.
