Allow Your Inner Light to Guide You
by Deanna Beisser

There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself
To follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities
So that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances
And create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle
For a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities
To grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow
When it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
