We each have something that no one can take away from us, in any situation or circumstance, and that is INFLUENCE.--We and we alone determine how we will affect others, what we will do with the life that we each possess and the state we find ourselves in at any point in time.
A determining factor in overcoming the obstacles and difficulties we will surely confront is FAITH, which Jesus of Nazareth spoke of on many occasions, and manifested throughout His time with us on earth. It is up to US to use this tool to tap into the gifts, talents, and strength available that will assist us in overcoming what hinders us, in honing our individual assets, and in helping make the world around us a better place for all.
lyrics
The Power of One
I have seen with my own eyes the power that lies within
A sole individual who determines to begin
To run a race that few attempt, they take that first step forward
And something like a miracle will gradually unfold
Though forces which you can’t control may try to wear you down
If you BELIEVE you can, any battle is half won
So seek your strength from deep within, and friends who gather round you
And look up to the Source of Love for strength you never knew you had
Chorus:
And believe, just believe, and all things will be possible
The voices nearly audible that cheer you to fight on
Just believe, only believe, and the power of faith will find you
Every victory will remind you of all that can be done
Through the power of one.
If you think you can, or think you can’t, either way you’re right
Each battle is waged within the recesses of your mind
Small beginnings, greater ends will have to be your focus
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step
So lift your eyes above the crowds, & the madness all around
And look to a future where your finished works abound
Don’t judge each day by harvests reaped, but by the seeds you've planted
Be grateful for each tiny step, take nothing gained for granted
Chorus
And believe, only believe, and all things will be possible
the voices nearly audible that cheer you to fight on
Just believe, only believe, and the power of faith will find you
Every victory will remind you of all that can be done
Through the power of one.

Thinking of my children a lot with this one, their struggles to become the best versions of themselves in spite of the obstacles, learning about themselves, & deciding what they want to do or not do with their lives. Somehow I made it, so I believe they will too!--And be a benefit and blessing to the world at the same time!
