When things start to get tense,
keep smiling
When things are dire,
keep smiling
When your heart gets too weak
to endure everything thrown at you,
keep smiling
Until that inner strength
inside of you
blossoms bright like a flower
and is able to help you
take on and overcome
the issues that you are facing…
just keep smiling
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
When you come from a
place of gratitude,
your life has more meaning
You are able
to share love more freely
and your capacity
to try and make a difference
in someone’s life
or even the world
becomes unselfishly endless
If you can live by this,
your life will be so simple
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
Life is best understood in reverse
Looking back on everything that happened to you,
it all kind of makes sense
You see all the adversities and great moments
you’ve gone through
to get to where you are now
Life will present you many challenges that will test you physically, mentally, emotionally and socially; have the courage to persevere and look for the opportunities that lie in those challenges that will help you to press forward.
It all starts with a dream
If you can find one
that you’re truly passionate about
then your journey can begin
Don’t let life
just happen
Find a way
to make sure
you explore every avenue
of possibilities
no matter how big or small
Be appreciative
of those that support and guide you in life,
they are the ones
that help to create
a clear path
for you to move forward
The adversities we face in life
help to build our strength
that is needed
to forge ahead
and
conquer the harder ones that follow
