There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad. Afraid, Confused..without a road map. the choices we make in these moments can define the rest of our days. of course...when faced with the unknown most of us prefer to turn around and go back. but once in a while people push onto something better. something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance. something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. because its only when your tested that you truely discover who you are. and its only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. the person you want to be DOES exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief...and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead....
I'd like to meet:
Allen Iverson, Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan
regrets come in all shapes and sizes. some are small, like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. some a bigger, like when we let down a friend. some of us escape the pangs of regret by making the right choice. some of us have little time for regret because we're lookin forward to the future. sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways. but our biggest regrets are not for things we did, but for things we didnt do, tihngs we didnt say, that could have saved someone we care about, especially when we can see the dark storm thats headed their way...
at this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred and seventy one people in the world, give or take a few...some are running scared, some are coming home, some tell lies to make it through the day, others are just facing the truth...some are evil men, at war with good, and some are good, struggling with evil...Six Billion people in the world, Six Billion souls. and sometimes...all you need is one

if you could go back an change just one thing about your life, would you? And if you did would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? or break the heart of another? would you choose an entirely different path? or would you just change one thing...just one moment? One moment that you always wanted back?

Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty? This hatred? How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return, but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed all by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name?.... Is it your name?

We are all mortals...Our bodies though strong cant defy time...One day, we will die. What matters most is the legacy we leave behind us. Did we become all we were capable of becoming? Did we make the difference we came here to make? Did we pursue our dreams when all around us thought we were chasing illusions? Only those who dare to rise are able to lift themselves above horizons...Only those bold enough to chase dreams...are the ones who catch them......
