Eliminating Desires

A strong desire,

is not nearly as potent as

one that is focused, refined and purified.

Young Men - Rise Up

Nothing is a substitute for passion

You cannot compensate for heart.

Through gritted teeth,

and clenched fists,

and late nights,

pacing.

If you do not break

when you are broken

You will rise.

Dichotomy

Which would you pick

if offered the truth

or happiness?

Stubborn

If you can't go out

of your way to do

something good,

Which way is 'your way'?

Small Victories

To deal with stress,

do small, manageable things

to stay on top

of the big things.

Maybe

Maybe, they made success look easy

when it was not.

that their achievements are built on flash

and not fire.

that their skill is a God-given gift

and not something they worked for

every, single, day.

Maybe it was just easy for them.

or maybe, that's just making excuses.
