I Am That Which Has Emerged From the Fire

by Tom Zuba

I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path.  I define myself by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads.

I do not define myself by how many disappointments I’ve faced.  I define myself by the forgiveness and the faith I have found to begin again.

I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted.  I define myself by how much I have loved, and been willing to love again.

I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down.  I define myself by how many times I have struggled to my feet.

I am not my pain.

I am not my past.

I am that which has emerged from the fire.
