Venture

To venture into the unknown

To stretch my limits

To boldly go where I have never gone before

 If I never try something new

If I never take on new challenges

I will never truly grow

In person

In mind

In body

In soul

In spirit

At times there will be points where I want to quite

I can not

For I can not and will not let the world win

At times there will be great heartaches

I will not let it keep me down

The challenges of life

Are not stumbling blocks

However they are stepping stones

Each step takes me

Higher into self-awareness

Fuller in the knowledge of

My own abilities

My own strengths

My own desire to progress and move forward
