We live our lives based on past experiences and past choices. Some are good, others have turned out bad. Frequently, we repeat those bad choices. This is seen all too consistently in battered women as well as sexual abuse victims. It takes courage and humility to change a path, knowing one will be stereotyped and looked down upon because of previous mistakes.
In order to be happy, truly happy, one must reach for the stars and RISK. The day that stops or one becomes complacent, is the day we settle. Many do not reach for the stars due to fear of criticism or what family members will think. A person must look in the mirror and ask if they are truly happy and have tried all attempts at resolution. If you have, then change paths, move, try a new experience, live, breathe, climb a mountain and find out who you are. You only get one shot at this life on earth,why do it with half a heart?
Stars are difficult to catch. We may feel as if they are beyond our reach or we are undeserving of their rewards. You will never know the feeling of success unless you try. Set a goal and risk. Who knows, the next star you catch could set forth a beautiful chain of events teaching you that anything is possible.
