Personal Declarations

By: Stephanie MacDonald

I will be a source light,

even if the entire world follows darkness.
I will learn my lessons fully,

enjoying the scenery without taking any shortcuts.
I will be strong,

even more so in times when others think I am weak.
I will prove all those wrong,

each and every one who thinks I'll fail.

I will always find success,

not just in wins themselves, but in every single genuine attempt.
I will always hold my ground,

no matter how hard anyone may try to knock me down.
I will take the road less traveled,

not the easy paths previously taken in flocks.

I will fulfill my own version of life,

not anybody else's idea or definition of what my life should be.
I will make myself heard,

even when everyone else is too afraid to speak.
I will live my life to the absolute fullest,

realizing limitlessness opportunity and potential.
I will see everyday as a special gift,

treating it as if it is the last day I'm here.

I will choose service to others over selfish service to self,

for it is truly in helping others that I truly help myself
I strive to do all I can do and be all I can be.
I will never stop seeking the best version of me.
