Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
When your strength and drive
cannot continue to help sustain
your fight towards overcoming life’s obstacles,
let your sheer courage
take over and help you to
achieve success
Remember that
what you lack in experience,
you more than make up for it with
enthusiasm, determination and resilience
So when faced with a situation
you’ve never encountered,
apply yourself with these principles
and you’ll surely get the job done
Chasing an unrealistic goal
should always be the goal
Have the courage
to believe in the possible
You’re always going to face
a lot of life’s obstacles
and lose,
but the courage to continue on
is what counts
The more times
you summon that strength,
the better your chances
at getting a successful outcome
In life,
you’re going to have
ups and downs
and things aren’t
always going to go your way
But it doesn’t matter,
you just need to fight through,
make the best of it
and make it
a good memory
There are obstacles in life that will challenge us physically, mentally, socially and emotionally but don’t worry because there will be opportunities within those challenges that will somehow help us to succeed.
When all else fails, go back to the drawing board and start all over again.
Any path you take toward your writing goals,
regardless of the hardships you endure along the way
will bring you joy and instill passion
You can have doubters
telling you, you can’t make it
There are detractors
that may sway you from your path
There are critics
who’ll scrutinize your flaws
And there are many other
that may cause you to have self doubt
and second guess yourself
You may struggle with
overcoming your obstacles
You may be humbled by others
who are more talented
and you’ll tempted
to drop everything and quit
But as long as you persist
and never let go of your dream,
that is truly the best choice
you can make for yourself
into attaining your goal
