The Drive

Life starts.
You begin.
Look forward.
Move forward.
Take a step.
Run a mile.
Inhale calmly.
Breathe with passion.
Learn to speak.
Then speak your mind.
Welcome to the human race.
You're not in last place.
Find your place.
Or make it fit you.
Don't fight your feelings.
They will fight back.
Trust your instincts.
Not your intentions.
Take all that you need.
Give all you can do without.
Acknowledge defeat, but never fail.
Win gracefully, and don't stop if you don't.
Set your goals.
Then past them.
Dream your dreams.
Then live them.
Ask for the stars in the sky.
Then fly to them.
Or bring them to you.
Settle down for peace and quiet.
Or build up to it and enjoy the view.
And in the end,
look back at the memories and smile....

"On this long road we call life, the only way to avoid the bumps, dips, steep hills, and swampy marshes is to never forget that you're the one driving...watch the road..."
