Poems of Reflection - 2. A Work in Progress

What truly matters in your life?
Money and fame?
Designer clothes and shoes?
How about a big house and white picket fence?
Those things play a factor, but

How much do you need to be what’s called successful?
Everyone will give you a different answer
There’s something that everyone says
Which is just enough to stand on your own two feet
Then a little extra so you can do nice things for yourself.

Always treat yourself, but remember to stay focused
Focus on the end goal because tomorrow’s not promised
You stayed focused for what, six months? More? Less?
You start to see changes, then nothing happens
So you give up, then wonder why nothing changes.

Never give up, as long as you have a breath
Never give up, as long as you can stand
Never give up, as long as you have faith
As long as you have hope and an open mind
You can push harder than ever before.

Remember, it’s your journey
It’s your time to shine
It may take a lifetime to reach that goal
But you can do it
Start out small, Rome wasn’t built in a day

Remember when we’re lost and it seems as though nothing matters, that's when we should take a step back, breathe and take a hard look at ourselves. Sometimes in order to move forward we must look back. Everyday we’re making progress towards our goals. Life is always going to knock us down just as we’re starting to see results. It’s at that point we must push ourselves in order to reach new heights -Noah
