At first peace we must make amends with the dawn of the new day and we must not forget our past but rather reflect upon it.
Each and everyday we learn new things about ourselves.
Within us there is an inner self waiting to be discovered.
A sound mind and a clear pathway will lead us into finding our inner self.
One may ask how they can have a sound mind and a clear pathway lay out in front of them, well the answer is really all up to you to decipher.
Reflect upon your past and separate out the good parts from the bad parts and figure out what you where doing that caused them to occur.
Once you've separated the two out you look for similarities between the two and start piecing them together.
Then all it is simply how you put that puzzle together and figure out what that puzzle means you'll have found inner peace within yourself which ultimately will lead you into discovering who you truly are.

Knots

Of all the aspects of life the most valuable is friendship.
Friendship is like a knot when you first meet a person your like two ends of a rope.
As your friendship strengthens those two strands of rope start to come together and become something far more meaningful than what you had to start.
The rope will eventually form into a knot as your friendship strengthens.
The knot doesn't only symbolizes your friendship, but of your trust for one another and only by knowing that you can trust that person does that knot tighten.

Diligence

Despite what obstacles maybe put in front of us if we try to work around them or work through them we can accomplish our goals.
Life presents us with obstacles, these obstacles try to create barriers around us by making our lives much more challenging.
In relationships conflicts are bound to occur and these conflicts can either hurt us but they also benefit us because it allows us to take a step back from our relationship and reassess it as a whole and it allows us to realize something more about the other person.
It's like Thomas the Train Engine he told himself that he couldn't do it and allowed himself to be believe it.
But as time goes on him begins to think, hey maybe I can actually do this, by thinking that he could achieve his goal he gained confidence and overcame an obstacle.
That obstacle made him weaker and lessened his judgment but as he soon began to realize that he could actually achieve his goal his ambition lead him the rest of the way up that mountain.

The American Dream

Many people in American want to live the American dream.
We as a nation have very diverse opinions on what we believe as the ideal American dream.
Some of us believe that the American dream should be based off of family and hard work.
Which is mostly the case,  however I believe that many people over look the American dream and analyze it far to deeply.
Couldn't the American dream be something as simple as just being yourself?
A dream can be anything you make it out to be and just being yourself is a dream worth pursing.

Life's Message

Come like shadows in fire and in rain.
Listen to the winds whispers as they tell tales from long ago.
Hide nothing that lies from within, because the truth will always come out.
Speak not of tall tales, but of your ambitions.
Invest within your life for if you do you will prosper.

Our lives are changed by us, not by some one else.
We determine how we want to live , our life style might be  influenced by another person's but that doesn't mean that we live exactly like them.
You always have a choice in life, don't go off blaming the other person for your own mistakes.
Just because they can do something and not appear to have any consequences doesn't mean you should try it yourself, because sooner or later the consequence of your actions will come back and haunt you.

Life's Test

Life is always challenging us to try our hardest despite what maybe going on in our lives.
Life is like a race, it just doesn't slow down and let you catch up you've got to be on top of your life because if you let your self slip you'll fall behind.
Even though life can be very demanding and fast paced we mustn't take upon ourselves more than we can handle, because if we do we'll become overwhelmed and not have any time to relax.
In life there needs to be a balance between work and relaxation, if we have to much work we'll be overwhelmed and start to lose focus of our main goals, but if we relax to much we allow things to slip by more easier than when we where alert and working.
Ultimately in life we must learn the right time relax versus the time for work and the only way we'll learn is through experience.
