Beyond the sky
I gaze at the sky—blue with a few scattered clouds—and wonder what lies beyond it. They say the sky is the limit, but is it? Is it truly the farthest we can go? I believe, and I know deep down, that how far we go is determined by the choices we make.
In my book, A Hurt Heart Mended, there’s a chapter titled You Can Choose Your Story. It’s about the power of choice in shaping our lives. You can be anyone you want to be—if you choose it. You could become the next Bill Gates, the next Albert Einstein, or carve a unique path of your own. The possibilities are infinite, as long as you dare to choose and believe in your potential.
Life doesn’t hand you a pre-written script. We are all given a blank page, a story unwritten, and the ink is in your hands. Every decision you make, every path you choose, writes the chapters of your journey. It may be hard, and sometimes it may seem like the obstacles are too much, but each challenge is part of your narrative—each setback is a lesson that strengthens you for the next step forward.
We are not defined by our circumstances but by how we respond to them. You may have moments where you feel lost, unsure of what comes next, but remember, your choices today shape the reality of tomorrow. It’s in your hands to choose what story you want to tell. Will you let fear or doubt hold you back, or will you push forward with courage, ready to embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead?
No one’s story is written in stone, not even the greats. Bill Gates didn’t become who he is by accepting the limits others imposed on him. Albert Einstein didn’t settle for being ordinary; he embraced his curiosity and defied the conventional expectations of his time. They, like you, chose to write their own stories, one decision at a time.
And what if you can’t see the way forward just yet? What if the road is unclear or uncertain? That’s okay. Sometimes, the path to your true potential is not always visible at first, but if you keep walking, keep choosing, the way will reveal itself. The key is to keep believing in yourself, even when the future feels distant or unknown.
You can choose. The sky might seem like the limit, but if you choose to stretch beyond, you’ll discover that there is no limit at all.
