The steps are steeper
as you get closer to your goal,
so learn to love your expectations
and
pay close attention to yourself
to see how good you can actually be.
Forever Onward
Never Give Up
Always Go Through
As you face obstacles in your life, go through them. Never go around them just because you are afraid. You’re cheating yourself. Going through the obstacles you encounter will help you to garner all the richness that your character has to offer.

A Double-Edged Sword
Adversity can break you, but it can also help build your confidence to overcome it.
Go Straight
When there is darkness
and stagnation
in front of you…
go straight
When life causes
extreme hardships…
go straight
When trouble
overwhelms you…
go straight
When your path
becomes hazy and unclear…
go straight
When obstacles become
too difficult to manage…
go straight
The course you take
must never waver
Always have faith
and never falter
Forge onwards
to greater heights
so that
your dreams and goals
may come to fruition
and then and only then
will everything turn
out better
If you just…
go straight
When Words Don’t Come Easy
When the well runs dry
and words don’t flow freely,
take a step back…
pause…
reflect…
on all your past work,
relish in the creativity
you created from nothing
and take pride
in knowing you did something
that was brought forth from
your heart,
your soul,
your inner voice
What was once there
is never gone
It just needs time to
rest and recharge
When all is said and done,
you’ll be back
to reinvent yourself
with eloquent words
that will convey your passion
to the world.
Singleness Of Purpose
Put all your energy
and
everything into
being the best
that you can be
Make that fire
burning inside of you
shine bright,
enough to drive
that tenacity
to its limit
If this can be done
then…
all things are possible
Mindset For Success
Stay determined,
not impatient,
nor discouraged
and
with repeated
trial and error,
you’re bound
to reach
a splendid outcome…
eventually!
