Why Do I Do This?

Now that I discovered WHY I do this....day in and day out...I realize that the path I walked on had many avenues, yet the only one I saw was the one I chose to see. It is amazing when you open your eyes to the world outside and realize that you really do have endless possibilities. I love that I now wake up each day and do what I do that day for only one person..for me. I am blessed with the gift to make a difference in the life of children daily. To be able to interact with intelligent, interesting people who lives are SO different than mine. But all in all, I am blessed to able to experience all I do each day for the betterment of myself. I have stopped caring about what "others" do, what their goals are and how they are getting there. I only have a second thought to those in my "inner circle" who I consider my close friends and who I would stop my life for. These are the people who will be around to support me no matter what goes on my life, but yet it takes me a while to "see" these people. I try to trust and believe everyone has good in their heart yet doesn't always know how to show it cause they are to focused on themselves, their goals, their family..etc... So I give people the benefit of the doubt. Lately, I have stopped doing this. Lately, I have realized that people think the way to get to the stop is by stepping on others. I have chosen not to be one of their stairs. I have chosen to instead step out of their way in hopes that others will see who they really are through my eyes. And....eventually......they do! I am never shocked to see someone who shares the same opinion about someone as I do. It takes a while but karma serves it's purpose. My dad used to always tell me that the most broken drum beats the loudest.... So I ask you.....are you the broken drum or the person who displays quiet confidence?
