I sure thought I had reached the end this time
It took me so long to arrive here
This was all I had been hoping for
My goal’s complete, but the journey is not
In this completion I see more to come
These new heights I’ve reached have brought more challenges
I realize there’s more to do with my life
Than bask in the glow of my achievements
Every door behind me that closes
Cannot do so without another one opening
What I always see as the path’s endpoint
Is nothing more than a trail marker
Every moment is a new beginning
A chance to create a new future
An opportunity to shed old skin
Time makes not changing impossible
The amount of new beginnings we have
Stacked closely together in time
Determines our level of happiness
And our level of growth and attainment
Otherwise, there’d be no purpose for time
What a shame if moments remained the same
And our lives were a continuous blur
Of monotony from doing the same thing
Sameness resides with extinction
Creation is the process of change
Why do many use their creative power
To maintain sameness, impeding creation?
Finding steady jobs and steady paychecks
Have taken precedence over one’s purpose
Security and sameness are one and the same
But creation was never safe or secure
That’s why I choose to create my life
Over and over continuously
Looking forward to change everlasting
And an eternity of endless beginnings
