No matter what,
All throughout your life,
There will be people who say you can't.

They say you will never find the perfect anything.
Not the perfect person.
Not the perfect job.
Not the perfect lifestyle.

You tell them your dreams,
they tell you it's impossible...

But one day,
You decide you've had enough.
You stop sharing your hopes and dreams,
fearing that they will just be shot down.

You begin thinking.
All day, from the time you wake up,
and even in your dreams while you sleep.
You begin thinking about all your mistakes you've made,
They will not be made again.

So instead, you begin thinking positively.
Thinking of how things WILL work,
Instead of how they won't.
Of course, you must think of the problems, too,
But instead of getting upset about them,
You think of ways to solve them.

You think about your goals and dreams every moment,
Planning out the many ways you can accomplish them.
Some things will take time, and money...
But you are determined.

Life throws every obstacle it can in your way,
You just look at it and say out loud...

Challenge Accepted!
Thanks to all the people who shot down my hopes and dreams... you really taught me that anything is possible, and I will not give up... on anything!
