Believe in yourself
Obstacles can be broken
The world is all yours
You are capable
God gave you gifts to succeed
Display your greatness
All signs point to you
Master your destiny now
Make your dreams come true
Inner Confidence
Your Test Of Strength
When the chips are all down
and your luck has run out,
take several steps back
cast aside any doubt
There are often times
when things don’t go your way,
you choose wrong, you fail
making mistakes throughout the day
You’ve just hit a rough patch
in this journey called life,
just roll with the punches,
bid adieu to the strife
In the midst of this insanity
there’s always a ray of hope,
that light at the end of the tunnel
is what helps you to cope
You’ll get through this dilemma
and will reach the other side,
problems encountered hereafter
is taken all in stride
Take pride in yourself
you’ve fought the good fight,
your character has mettle,
inner strength shown outright
So take charge of your life
when things go awry,
head straight forward, show no fear
wave those bad days goodbye.
What do you do?
What do you do
when the carrot that’s been dangling
in front of you
gets ripped away
It’s like a punch to the gut
that just sucks the life out of you
Your whole world turns
upside down
Where do you go from here?
How do you cope?
Your battle worn
mind, body and soul
wants to give up
and throw in the towel
But your heart refuses
It is life!
No matter what,
it knows that you are made of sterner stuff
It pumps hope into your core
The source that keeps you alive
that wills you to move forward
past the disappointment,
and the pain
It becomes a shot of adrenaline
that courses through your very fiber
that makes your determination,
your drive
ten times stronger than it was before
and gives you the resolve
to take on greater things
and gives you a true sense of peace
knowing that you’ll overcome
the next disappointment
with strength and inner confidence
and a heart that can
truly stand the test of time.
An Eternal Optimist
In the face of
insurmountable odds
and naysayers doubting
your ability
You have to have
faith,
passion,
know yourself
inside and out
Develop a keen foresight
and inner confidence
Have the drive
to fight and persevere
Knowing it will be enough
to overcome everything
Once you can do that,
a spark of hope
springs from an endless well
that leaves you with a sense of
unbridled enthusiasm
A beacon at the end of the tunnel
that will never dissipate
When you can truly feel this way
accept it as canon,
that’s when you know you’re
an eternal optimist.
