How Far I've Come

I had to conquer my fear of the unknown as I stepped through the open the door to start on my new journey.

With a promise to fulfill
My heart shall never falter
Because I found my purpose

With each new day|
With a heart of gold
With every step I take
With every discovery I make

I have seen how much more it takes
I have seen how far I have come
I have seen how much I have grown
I have seen how much I am inspired to go on.

My tale has just begun.
Let me see what more I need to overcome.
Let me see what other challenges I need to conquer
Let me decide which stairs to take.

With an open mind, I shall rise.
And stand at the end of my goal.
