Today I wrote a song. I real song. With three verses, and a chorus, and chords, and a melody. I've never written a song before, so it's exciting in itself. But it's so much more to me than a song. It's a reminder. I reminder of what I'm capable of.
My sister and I were talking today about how she loves to sing, but she wishes she could play an instrument and write music. I recently started to learn to play the ukulele and I've thought about trying to write a song, but I didn't think I could do it. But after talking to my sister today, I thought, "I think I'm going to try."
And I did it. It's not a musical masterpiece by any means, but it's a song. And it reminded me that I can do anything I put my mind to. That am I the only person standing in the way of my dreams.
So often I don't take chances because I'm afraid that I'm going to fail. But I never fail. Not really. Sometimes it takes longer than I would like to succeed, or the outcome isn't exactly what I had hoped for. But I never fail. We as people are capable of so much. All it takes is the courage to take a risk. And accept that you may fall flat on your face a few times on the path to success.
And today a wrote a song. A small victory. A small triumph. A small success.
