Change

Standing here beneath the open cloud covered sky.

Rain begins to fall lightly upon the back of my neck and shoulders.

My life has taken turns that would break weaker men.

But these challenges only make me stronger.

The rain begins to pick up, and the paper I write on begins to get moist.

With the rain falling all around me, I continue standing and begin to stare into the rainy night sky.

I am finally beginning to understand who I am.

I'm the one who can change the world. If not for the entire world, at least for everyone whose life I touch.

Changing the world is not something I do because I am chosen, but because I have a choice to do so myself.

I am the one in control of my destiny.
