I woke up one
morning looking at my surroundings and was saddened by what I saw.
I saw you and me
fighting to stay alive,
fighting to live
another day,
fighting to make
sure we have food on the table.
For some it’s the fight to make sure their child has all s\he needs.
For some it’s the fight to make sure their child has all s\he needs.
For others, it’s
making sure they have everything
to get the education
they need to get accepted for the job that will take them in;
For others, the
desire to be accepted by others for who they are.
What saddened me the
most was
that you are all
capable of great things,
but you are not
hitting your potential.
You only dream of
the great things—dream
of becoming somebody
great, healthy and wealthy,
but you don’t work
to
become the great
healthy and wealthy person your dreams are bursting with.
That person is you:
believe it.
You are what you
believe you are.
Day and night you
talk yourself down
saying that you will
never be great;
you will never be
somebody
(when you are
already somebody);
you will never get
there, never “arrive”.
I have never known
anyone to tear a person down like you tear yourself down.
Stop for a moment
and take a deep breath.
You are a beautiful
person.
You are great, and
you are capable of great things.
Do what you do best
and excel in it.
Learn from the
pioneers.
They are successful
because they tried things,
and they failed,
but they got up and
moved forward.
Begin by doing what
you can.
Acquire the most
knowledge you can
because
knowledge is power
and a vehicle that will take you places.
Liberate yourself
from the circle that will lead you nowhere in the battle.
You used to live to
survive.
Surviving is
winning one battle or escaping defeat by an inch.
Now you must learn
to fight to win—
not only one small
battle but for victory
over every battle
you will be fighting.
Arm yourself with
the right weapons.
I’ll give a hint
where to find one
(and it’s the best
of them all):
KNOWLEDGE.
Learn from the ones
before you.
Learn to succeed!
Learn to live.
Learn to be the best
of you!
