article: Take The Bigger Step | written down

There comes a time when you
must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough
within yourself
to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing
to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of
changing and rearranging
your priorities
so that your final goal
can be achieved.
Sometimes familiarity and comfort
need to be challenged.
There are times when you must
take a few extra chances
and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try
to make your life better.
Be confident enough that
you won’t settle for a compromise
just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself
the opportunities to grow, develop,
and find your true sense of purpose
in this life.
Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow
when it’s your sunlight
that should lead the way.
