Contest: My New Version Under an Open Sky.

I was standing under a broad sky and something was happening to me. The image records a still image but in my case it symbolizes something greater than a mere image. It is a rebirth of me one that is educating expanding and deciding to take a step in the world with assurance.

I used to believe that change must be dramatic and noisy and spectacular. I now know that the actual change might begin in a humble place within your thoughts. It starts when you made up your mind that you would view yourself in a new light and that you can become more than you were yesterday.

The photo has a sky above me which reminds me that the sky is wide open and has many possibilities in it. As our lives change so do clouds. Nothing remains constant and that is not something to fear it is something to smoke a cigar with.

My new one is not perfection - it is growth. It is increasing my good habits that safeguard my energy and refining on the objectives that I really value. It is grabbing a lesson out of errors rather than letting them identify me. Any move in a positive direction is good.

You have to be brave sometimes to become something better. It is giving up old doubts negative voices, restrictions that you have previously believed to be true. Growth wants you to be a straight talker and courageous enough to shape what you desire to be.

Looking at this picture I do not only see a man standing outside. I can see patience of determination and a silent commitment to continue developing. The trip does not end and this is the best part.

The past is not forgotten in the creation of a new version of me. Rather it learns out of each experience all the challenges and lessons. Better to think bigger and move with purpose is another opportunity that arises each day.

This experience under the sky makes me realize that you can always grow. Whatever is your beginning or how slowly you may want to go, you will still be able to be stronger wiser and focused than you were before. My new one is not concerning being perfect it is about getting better daily with vision discipline hope and the strength to keep on moving forward regardless of whatever hurdles come with it on the way to go because growth is a process and I am willing to keep on walking it day by day as of now into the future that I will create day by day.
