Investigate

I truly believe that

• you can't change the past
• you cannot go back and undo what was once done
• you cannot go back & pull years back into line
• there are no do overs
• there are only start-overs
• that beauty lies all around us
• that you have to allow yourself to see it
• that if you've come from a bad experience & made it through to the other side
• that you have to live each new day in appreciation & glory
• that if you hold onto the past, that is where you will stay
• that if you refuse to grow into the future, the future will go on without you
• that if you don't want to try anything new, you will become old
• that if you don't ever trust, you will never be free
• that if you don't love yourself, you will never be able to love another
• that if you allow words to define you
• unless they are positive words - you will become them
• that if you don't investigate your inner self & be fully present in each moment of your life
  
• that you are merely waiting to die
