Throughout my life I've always felt like I knew who I was. A person who loved life with a smile on his face, never looking back. As life rolls along we are presented with obstacles. And I truly believe that each obstacle we are presented with, is a test. A test that we can either fail, or pass with flying colors.
However, what's most important is that we don't ignore the test or act like it doesn't exist. There are no notes or study guides, nobody to tell us how to pass, and no ways of cheating. This test by far, is the biggest test you will ever take.
Bigger then your high school final, bigger then your college exams, or bigger than the presentation you must present at work for your big promotion. The test I'm talking about ladies and gentleman, is life.
Life is a constant battle, a constant struggle. Every person at some point, must find out who they really are and who they really want to be in life. Right now I'm dealing with this very test. I don't know who I really am. In fact, I feel like there is a hole inside of me that everyone can see through.
This is not a bad thing. Like I said before, it's life. However, to pass my test I feel like I must search myself and see if I can fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle. I still have a lot of growing to do and I'm still confused about where I'm going, but I do know where I want to end up.
I want to continue being that person who always goes through life with a smile and no matter what happens, I will always see the goodness in people rather then the bad. Because the reality is, I am truly blessed and I have all of you to thank for it. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Matthew Powell ("The CP Optimist")
