Take life by the horns

I was sitting here thinking about all the losses I have had in my life. Some when I was real young. And most when I was old enough to understand what it meant to lose someone. And I thought about through the years how I felt each time someone passed. I would say to myself life is to short. We should live life to the fullest. But then that feeling would fade away. I would go back to be content with things the way they are. I wouldn't make one change in my life. I told myself it will not be that way again. I have set some goals for myself...And come hell or high water...I will reach my goals one way or another. And maybe in the end I will be standing alone...But one thing is for sure...I will be standing. Maybe we should all set goals for ourselves and do our best to reach them. Stop sitting on our excuses. Life is too short, happiness could be right around the corner.
