Out of the Ashes

I'm a starter, not a finisher. I am a visionary. The thing is I don't put forth the work to see my ideas and dreams come to fruition. At first I'm passionate and driven, but eventually I give up. I've been trapped in this never ending cycle of good intentions, then regret, for too long now. I have to believe that despite the obvious outcome, I can rally again. I have to believe that I can change!

My flaws, the countless obstacles ahead of me and my fear of failure won't beat me this time around. I can either let them defeat me or I can allow them to inspire me. Honestly, I think it's easier to be defeated. It's easier for me to stay where I'm comfortable, the place I've come to know and love. If I want my life to mean something, I have to be prepared to fight!

But see, I have no choice. It's do or die time. Inside my heart I desire a life greater than what's right in front of my face. Inside my soul, dreams and endless possibilities stir violently. I can't ignore them any longer! I've never been more ready or willing to risk it all. Like a fiery phoenix, I will rise up out of the ashes and begin anew.

I have to start somewhere...I put my pen to paper and mark the beginning of this journey. Don't let me do this alone. Help me pursue my dreams and maybe you'll get a glimpse of me becoming someone.
