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.

What an encouraging poem. This is one of the best I have read on here in a long time. Very inspirational and full of wisdom. We all need more of that!!! Glad I happened to find this one today. Thank You! :-) What a joy...

What a heartfelt uplifting poem with illuminating wisdom. I truly enjoyed the message conveyed here.
To be grateful, to count our blessing not our sorrows. To live in the now, the only moment we really have.

Who was it who said, "It is not how many times life knocks you down, it is how many times you get back up?
Love that quote. Love tenacity and practice it in my own life.

A wonderful poem. I truly enjoyed this inspiring piece.

"Your thoughts can consume you,
Or they can open pathways and set you free."

very true. sometimes we are consumed with thinking about things beyond our control, or thinking over things so carefully that with all this mindwork, we are not getting anything that we are in control of done. hmm...sounds like something i should think (lol) about doing...

I really like this poem. Its uplifting and it makes sense without getting too sentimental. Good poem.

[Kevon]

Kudos, I see pure optimism , I also see a since of preparation of any obstacles that life may harbor towards u in the near future, this is an inspiring piece

That is the best way of equating it

Dreams - doubts = future

I will use that now.

The font looks biblical. The form was used well.

Good piece

i really like this poem. Especially the title. Everyone could use their own personal cheerleader whispering this in their ear when they feel that your dream is never going to become a reality.

[Natalie Lozano]

This is similiar to a poem I wrote years ago. Except I like yours much better. Everyone needs a lift up every now and then and I think this is perfect for that. :)

This poem sounds like the words that I tell my children on a daily basis. Success is but a journey...one, that many fear...SO TRUE...but failure is also a journey that many fail to see and then....
