The Measure

We are not measured by the words we speak...

but by the choices we make and the actions we take.

For one may be eloquent with the voice or pen....but the true measure of their character shall be expressed in their daily deeds.

Definition

I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path

I define myself by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads

I do not define myself by how many disappointments I’ve faced

I define myself by the forgiveness and the faith I have found to begin again

I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted

I define myself by how much I have loved and been willing to love again

I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down

I define myself by how many times I have struggled to my feet

I am not my pain
I am not my past
I am that which has emerged from the fire

I am the Phoenix of my own destiny.

Philosophy Too

Absorb what is useful, discard what is not..
Make your own way in your own time...

Then enhance another life with your discoveries.....

HOPE is not a strategy

LUCK is not a factor

FEAR is not an option
