Turning No Into Yes I Can

When your day starts out on the wrong foot and you want to go back to bed

Yes I can enjoy my day and find many great pleasures along the way

Bills are piling up faster than the money is coming in and the situation looks scarey

Yes I can find a way to make ends meet

Friends that you talk to are not supportive of all your efforts

Yes I can succeed

Your boss expects more and you are at your limit

Yes I can do better

When your wife or husband finds something to complain about

Yes I can make them happy

As you move and body aches and your eyes are tired

Yes I can feel good again

I am taking struggling and turning into wanting

I am taking fear and turning into sheer determination

Life doesn't change over night

One step closer to where I want to be is fine with me

Feeling good about doing my personal best

Trying when other people give up

Loving living in the moment no matter what it may be

Because it is a new experience to me

Seeing the bright side when the dark clouds are hanging over

Looking at all my accomplishments and slowly adding to the list

I am who I am today because I made it through that rocky road

Now Rocky Road happens to be one of my icecream favorites

That I eat up now and again like all the things I have seen and done

I have found the need to do what is right not because someone tells me so

Just because I know deep down in my soul

Life is far from over when I don't have the answer

I just have to find a clue and continue

Making my life not a pain in the neck but my favorite book I can read over and over again

Like picking out dessert on the menu

There is not one choice but many and in time maybe I can say with great enthusiasm and pride

I have tried them all
