Cross Creek Blogs

  A lot of us tend to sit and wait for things to happen to us, hoping some miracle will come and save us from our current situation or even solve our current problems.  In doing this we miss some of the greatest moments of our lives.  We miss the chance to make unforgettable memories with the people we love and cherish.                In coming to Cross Creek, I have learned that the present is the most important thing to focus on.  What I create now is what will make my future that much brighter and more welcoming.  The past is the past.  I realize that at times I have been walking around dwelling on “coulda, woulda, shoulda” ideas.  By sitting back and letting life pass me by, I have created more regrets and I wind up kicking myself for it later.   Life is valuable.  We all have an opportunity to live our lives to the fullest.  At home I sat around wasting my life away by making excuses like “I can’t”, “I’m not capable” etc.  Now I no longer can sit back and let life just run its course, because I have tasted success here at Cross Creek.  I have learned I am in control of my own destiny and I cannot be satisfied with bare minimum I used to put forth.  If I find myself stuck in some place I don’t want to be in, I have the tools to move off of it and make new choices.  I have learned I don’t have to hit rock bottom in order to pick myself up again.

              I am human and I make mistakes.  This does not make me wrong.  It is all in what I do and how I react after I make mistakes that determines how far I will go.  I sat and wished a lot of my life away before coming to Cross Creek.   Following my dreams and doing the work is not easy, but it is possible!
