The adversities we face in life
help to build our strength
that is needed
to forge ahead
and
conquer the harder ones that follow

The adversities we face in life

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 no matter what,
your heart refuses because it knows
that you are made of sterner stuff
It pumps hope into your core
that helps keep you alive
and wills you to move forward
past the failure and the pain
It becomes the shot of adrenaline
that courses through your very fiber
and makes your determination and drive
ten times stronger than it was before
Your heart gives you the resolve
to take on greater things
and gives you a sense of peace
knowing that you’ll overcome
the next disappointment
with renewed strength and inner confidence
that can truly stand the test of time

Patience…
is what it takes
when you’re on your path
to your dreams and goals
Patience…
is a virtue they say,
but to me it’s a test
Patience…
challenges your hopes,
your strength of will,
and your endurance
If you can bear
the uncomfortableness of it all,
the light at the end of your journey
shines big and bright
and all the riches
of your hopes and dreams
will be there for the taking
So, relish the moments
that require patience,
for it truly is a valued trait

Once you get
a clear understanding
of your sense of self,
you gain the
strength and ability
to show
your true emotions
and that will
help you to navigate
your way through life

Never be afraid
to open the door
to your dream
By doing so, you unleash
endless possibilities,
unbridled optimism,
strength beyond measures
that will all enable you
to aid you in your quest
to achieve what you only dared to think of
So find that key
of courage
and open that door
to your dream

The power of faith, family and friends are immeasurable – they provide eternal hope, unconditional love and tremendous support

“Hope“ will always dictate your effort!

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.
