Lessons Learned


Creativity. Creativity is a skill that I will never posses. To inspire some will be the peak of my life. To be greater than what is expected. Not that is negativity. But to inspire just one is the goal that I hold, Not to lead a new revolution, or a new world order. Not to be rich and famous, have my name in lights. But to be able to say that when my day has come, I have fulfilled my destiny. I have done what the Lord has asked of me. I have not been a perfect person, but have learned from mistakes. Mistakes that may have been made multiple times, but learned overall. Not been the wisest in decision making, But have always been observant. Observation is the key to success. Today, I think about how I am going to pay for college. But one day I hope to send 1,000 to college. Not to be rich and famous, that's not my goal But to share the gift of the pen, that I hold. To be greater creativity can inspire. Inspiration leads to action. Action may lead to consequence. Consequence does not always lead to defeat. A lesson learned, is a mistake made way more than 1 time. Growth is key. Keys open doors. Doors lead to opportunities. Opportunities lead to life.
