WHERE IS MY STRENGTH?


Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me

I, I thought I'd never make it through

I had no hope to hold on to
I, I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

Found hope in my heart

I found the light to life my way out of the dark
Found all that I need here inside of me

Oh, I thought I'd never find my way

I thought I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

There were so many times

I wondered how I'd get through the night
I thought I took all that I could take



I was not built to break, no, no

I got to know my own strength

CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY TODAY!!!

.
Listen to this!!!We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older.

Then we become much frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we’ll be happier when they grow out the teen years..... 

We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car,when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.
The truth is there is no better time to be happy than right now. If not, then when?when we can take a vacation or when we finally retire?

Your life will always be full of challenges. It’s better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life. But there was always some obstacles along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, and a bill to be paid. Then life would start.

I finally came to understand that these obstacles were life.
That point of view helped me see that there isn’t any road to happiness;happiness is the road.
 So enjoy every moment, stop waiting for school to end, for return to sculptor,to lose  10  pounds, to gain 10 pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first of the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn…………..before deciding to be happy.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.
There is no better time to be happy than now. 
Live and enjoy every moment pal......................
