"The Power"

Embrace It!

It's YOUR story to write

“Your past mistakes

do not define you.

You have the power

to rewrite your story and

create a future filled

with purpose and joy”

The past is always best

left in the past.

The same applies

to our mistakes.

We Learn from them

and move on,

avoiding making the same mistakes

in the future.

We have the Power

over our own Lives

to start again,

change our story and

write a New and Happier chapter.

It’s up to us to want to!

The Past is like a stepping-stone into Today,

even as

Today is a stepping-stone into the Future.

As long as we are Alive,

it is always possible

to make those Positive changes

to ‘Create’

a Better and Happier

version of Ourselves.

Embrace the Power

that is inside of you

to have your Future in your hands

and to Learn from the Past.

But leave the past where it belongs

— in the past.

Every day we wake up

we are still writing our own story,

so let’s make it a story

full of Joy,

Triumph,

Growth and

Happiness.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
