Disney World has a way of bringing me happiness, sadness, and inspiration. Happiness because of how many fond memories I have made since I first stepped foot inside the Magic Kingdom when I was five years old. Sadness because I reflect on how much time has passed and that vacation doesn't last forever. Inspiration because upon leaving I am filled with bigger goals, desires, and the courage to make all of my dreams come true.
I am thankful for my imagination, my drive, my emotions, my acting, screenwriting, and directing ability, my dreams, my never give up attitude, my wife, my parents, my family, my friends old and new, God, my faith, my outlook on life, my gifts, my career, my belief in myself, my successes, my failures, my past, my present, my future, and so very much more.
I am thankful for this message: I will change the world for the better. I will use my imagination, talent, and abilities to inspire others to follow their goals. I will never give up on myself or my dreams. I will always live truthfully in the moment, embrace every obstacle, accept failure, and grow with every new challenge. I will fall. I will crash. I will burn. But I Will Always Rise From The Ashes...like the Phoenix...I was born to RISE.
