Until I’m Complete
It is only when you have hit the ground
that you can learn how to get up again.
It is only when you learn to get up again
that you build the confidenceto step out of yourself
out of your comfort zone
and start taking risks.
It is only when you start taking risks
that you fully come toan understanding of
who you areand what you are capable of.
It is only when you know who you are
and what you are capable of
that you can plan realistic goals and
see the potential in your dreams.
It is only when you can see the potentialin your dreams
that you can realize them,
taste the sweetness of accomplishment.
And it is in this sense of accomplishment
and sweet succulent taste of victory
that provides the driving force
to get you through the next step
the next obstacleand the next dark day.
It is then and only then that you can say,
I have what it takes to live...
and indeed I have lived!
