I am going to write more later, but I wanted to share this Matthew West song, "Hello My Name Is" with you. Even if you're not a Christian, I think you can relate to the first two stanzas in particular. Just take a moment to read the lyrics and listen to the song. I think most people know a little something about regret and defeat.

It ties in with the chapter I'm reading too and that old quote - whether you believe you can or can't - you're right. Do you believe if you fail, you'll never get back up again or that YOU are a failure? Do you believe you've made so many mistakes that you cannot possibly win or get it right? Maybe you're like me - you've had an awful lot of experiences (some good, some not) and you've made some life-altering choices that you think...if I could only go back to this age or that and make a different choice or take a new path...maybe things would be different. WELL - to heck with that people. Start where you are. You've got control and you can change. I am changing and I BELIEVE it can only go up from here - no matter what - I'm going to continue on my journey to being a more positive, optimistic (gasp), encouraging, and fulfilled person. I'm going to make my dreams come true and I'm going to enjoy the process along the way. The journey has begun.
