Break the Chains and Look to Tomorrow By Rachel Conn

In this life we must not look at our yesterdays but focus on our tomorrows: taking chances and thriving on the good, the bad and the ugly. Things will happen to upset us but we must do our best to brush them off and move on. It is about cherishing the moments we have with our loved ones and living life to the fullest. We only get this opportunity once so we might as well make the best of it. Being a student, athlete, sister, daughter, niece, friend, woman of God and much more, is a lot. There is a lot of room for error and the way to approach this is to accept it and move on. The best way to accept our mistakes is to learn from them and improve upon them. We can't spend every moment dwelling on our past, or our mistakes but the here, the now and what is to come. When we can live our lives to the fullest and impact someone else's life in a positive manner, that is when you know you are truly successful. So what are you waiting for? Start living.

Who can set bounds to the possibilities of man?

Go forth, under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings

There is a time in every man's education When he arrives at the conviction That envy is ignorance; That imitation is suicide; That he must take himself for better or worse

Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, And, if you speak, speak accordingly.

Be not disturbed at trifles, Or at accidents common or unavoidable.

I speak my own sins; I cannot judge another.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. And now these three remain: Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind, Sometimes you gotta give in to win, I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky And I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change And breakaway

And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays. I've forgivin' myself for the mistakes I've made.

We think about tomorrow then it slips away We talk about forever but we've only got today

It's all we've been given So you better start livin' right now

I did not wish to live what was not life, Living is so dear

I wished to live deliberately, To front only the essential facts of life, And see if I could not learn what it had to teach, And not, when I came to die, Discover that I had not lived.

So live

When it’s time to die, Go ahead and die, And when it’s time to live, live. Don’t sort-of-maybe live, But live like you’re going all out, Like you’re not afraid
