Reach for the Stars

Reach for the Stars

Sometimes there is such a bad storm, that we can’t imagine 

warm sunshine. At times life seems so bleak that no soothing 

words can make us feel fine.

The dark, bleak times may not happen very often, usually even 

very rare, but when they strike it is like a bottomless pit 

has us dangling up in the air.

We can’t seem to get our perspective on life, on our dreams, 

on our identity, but these are temporary times, we must remind 

ourselves this is not eternity.

Hardship will follow us our whole lives, but these are not 

events we can alter, we must learn to draw strength from within, so that we try harder not to falter.

This doesn’t mean that there will not be times, we are down and 
feel pounded,it just means that through our prior problems we 

have learned to stay grounded.

Life can be very tough and sometimes the only way to survive is 

to be tougher. Heart-break and disappointments will always be 

there, but they could always be rougher.

Let the tears of disillusionment fall freely, then dry those 

eyes and get prepared, don’t let the effect of occasional defeat,keep you afraid and always running scared.

Although life may not always be easy, it is the only one we have to live this day, there is no amount of disappointment that can 

force us to lay down and just obey.

There really are stars and we have every  right to reach for as 

many as we desire,it just takes courage and hope, and a desire 

not to give up, then you start a fire.
