Strength
One’s strength should not be measured by
One’s ability to lift things,
It should be measured by their ability
To lift others.
If you wanna change the world, do so.
The only ones who try
are the ones who ever
Achieve anything.
If you think you’ll fail, you probably will.
We’re rarely wrong when predicting
One’s own success.
To believe is to dream,
To wonder is to think.
Don’t allow your dreams to
Overshadow your thoughts,
Because our thoughts are the windows to our identity.
Dream big, but think even bigger.
Your choices speak louder than you can scream.
Make good ones.
They reveal more about yourself than
Your abilities ever could.
If you harbor resentment and negativity
You may as well be drinking poison
And expecting others to fall ill.
That shit will rot you from the inside out.
Knowledge has a limit, ignorance does not.
Never forget that the things you find hard
Are good for you.
Your idiosyncrasies are your personality,
And if others cannot accept these,
Find new others.
This is you, the true you.
The others in our lives must accept you
Because you are not settling for anything
Less than happiness.
If you wanna be happy,
smile.
Move on
from what steals that smile
from your face
and embrace everything
that make your heart smile.
Our ability to maintain a smile
Through all the inevitable horror
That life guarantees the throw at us –
That is true strength.
