belief, life and knowledge

This feeling that's in my chest is the foundation of who I am, the thing that keeps me going and why I don't give a damn.
When I wake in the morning I am happy to be living this life I live, even when I am not with the one I want to be with.
I may have things that bring me down but it never lasts long, I get up dust myself off and keep moving forward.
Times are some times hard to live through and you would rather throw in the towel, throw in all the chips you have won til now and you will never win a thing.
Courage is hard to find when you turn a blind eye, look inside yourself for help you have all the answers at your disposal.
There are too many times we short change ourselves in our lives, we underestimate our talents, our abilities and most importantly our strength.
Children are so amazing if you speak to them right they go from "I can't do it!" to "I did it!" so easily it's like my nephew would say "I can't write it!" then I would say " I really believe you can do it and I would love to watch you do it because I know you can do it here lets try together" then he would try to write his name and he would do it every letter was shaky but it was readable and spelled his name " you did great!" I would say smiling and he would be smiling too and rewrite it saying " look I did it! I CAN DO IT!!!" Adults aren't so easily convinced all our choices become blurred by uncertainty and we second guess not only ourselves but our peers too.
Children are so simple and so bright they accept things as they are point blank decide they don't like it and go about changing the things they don't like and most oft they succeed too! props to all my smart children of the world.
They say with age comes knowledge and in some ways that is true but the older you get the stupider you get too because the older you get the more complex you make things.
