Don't sell yourself short

Inside my mind there are many audio and visual trinkets that represent the course of my life. When you linger and pay attention to the lessons and the memories you are going to have will fill a pirates chest full of precious and valuable gatherings that can fill a book of wisdom. In most cases the folks that have good wisdoms are those who have not denied their failures and have a ton of trys and retrys to get it even just a little passable. When you contemplate yourself you will find that on the average we as individuals take inventory of ourselves and our life in a serious way every 10yrs. Dont try and be perfect and if you promise to try and do your best you will come away with alot of life's lessons in your arsenal and the ones that never gave up are the ones that end up the most wise.
