I Have Come This Far

Dear lovely people,

It is preposterously easy to forget to stop and take stock of how far you have come in your life. Our world today focuses so much on what we lack—be it money, beauty, prestige, or romantic success—that it is far too common for us to get trapped in the loop of needing to have, be, or do “more” before thinking that we might be good enough.

We all have bad days.  Sometimes it seems like we even have bad years.  It happens.  Life is NOT going to be perfect 100% of the time.   But those bad times pass.  The thing is, we may not even notice it happening.  Sometimes, you need to look back at where you were so that you can see just how far you’ve come.  It may not be as far as you like, but if you’ve made progress, it’s all good. 

Michael Jackson (1958 – 2009) the American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter, musician and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop and recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records motivated the world with his songs especially in his song History as he sings…

Don't let no one get you down
Keep movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history

Smile!  Celebrate the progress and look forward to the future when you make even more progress.  Before you know it, you’ll be looking back to today and being amazed at how far you’ve come. Then, you would be better placed to join Michael Jackson to remind the world that…

Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
