It's not easy out there
People are always saying you can’t.
That you shouldn’t.
That you’re not smart enough,
not good enough.
This world,
it beats you up again and again until eventually…
Most people, they just
just stop trying.
But you’re not like that.
You’re a fighter.
You always have been.
You break physically,
you can break mentally,
you can break your heart,
you can break your spirit.
And all of those are gonna leave a mark.
But the mark that they leave
can be the mark of victory
or it can be the mark of defeat.
This too shall pass.
If you grasp for a new beginning
if you pull yourself up
and move back into the world with a plan.
So as foolish as it might sound
be thankful for your current limitations
or failures
for they are building blocks from which to create greatness,
you can go where you want to go.
You can do what you want to do.
You can become what you want to become.
You can do it all
starting now,
starting right where you are.
There is no excuse
for not trying
Where you are right now
doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.
No one's written your destiny for you.
You write your own destiny.
You make your own future
You
will
change
the world.
Even when you're struggling,
even when you're discouraged,
and you feel like
other people have given up on you,
don't ever
give up on yourself.
You've got to keep trying and trying and trying.
You've got to have enough resolve to do it until
So be grateful for adversity.
But for your future
make it work for you
not against you.
Make your failures give birth to great opportunity,
not throw long agony
Make your disgust lead to inspiration
not pressuring
The world will willingly sit by
and let you wallow in your sorrows
until you die broke and alone.
And here's what else the world will do;
The world will step aside and let you by
Once you decide
that your present situation is only temporary
Once you decide to get back on your feet
and make your mark
the world doesn't care which choice you make
to stop here
or to go on
the world doesn't really care.
So you have to
you have to care
give a run at advantage.
Keep your eyes firmly on the achievement
on your ambition
and not merely existence and self-pity
Make a commitment to excellence.
Success is something you attract by the person you become.
Success is something you attract like a magnet
by the person you've become.
