Your Dreams-Doubts=Your FUTURE

Take a moment and look around,

Appreciate, what life has to offer.

Take a deep breath and relax,

Be thankful for the things you have.

 

Welcome the challenges of today,

ACcept them with open arms.

Look for opportunities in every situation,

Then be surprised, how things turn around.

 

Life is a series of challenges,

It's up to you to see them through.

A Challenge that is big enough,

Will reveal your strengths and abilities within you.

 

Creativity and innovation are essential,

For one to really succeed.

Your thoughts can consume you,

Or they can open pathways and set you free.

 

Success is a journey,

One, many fear to make.

Look inside yourself and ask,

How much am I willing to take.

 

Your dreams have carried you this far,

Hold on a little bit longer.

Your dream is only the final reward,

There are many more along the way.

 

Be prepared to ask yourself,

When you set forth one more day.

For things I want tomorrow,

HOW SHOULD I PLAN TODAY?

Words like this always remind a searching spirit .. maybe we've heard or read them before, but a gentle nudge just help us fly a little higher.

Think the upper case is a little heavy for such gentle words but other than that this is both a fine piece of writing and an inspiring one.

[Macabee]

It's obviously pretty straight forward but still manages to be effective and inspiring. I like.

I know little of poetry, but I do know that this resonates with me in regards to my writing, as I am sure that it resonates with many others here. Especially the fifth paragraph. We artistic types often fear to put our works out there. It is a very naked feeling to do so, exposing yourself in such horrifying ways, but ultimately it is required to grow and improve.

Very eloquently put and yet you avoided sounding like Dr. Phil. Bravo.

[Jupiter Jazz]

[The fallen of innocence]

so many people are confuse in this time and they simply throw awry their dreams. your writing has brought hope to those who had none. your words were gentle but stern and supporting. the uppercase emphasis the importance of what u dream and what should u do. good job and i hope u keep up with this type of motivational writing

[Victoria Scott]

100% beautiful and true well done! :)

[Joseph D. Smith]

I always think about the future, when too many don't, especially those depleting the only oxygen we have in the air, which was only 21% when I learned about it in middle school!

But when it comes to my own future, I guess I sometimes forget to plan for it. Thanks for reminding me that my future is just as important! Every little bit of this poem flows perfectly, with such true and powerful words.

Great job!
