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.

Reads like a self-help book, I enjoyed this one. I think I even felt more enlightened when I was done. I like how you write it in caps, emphasizes each word more. Gives me hope, peace, a sense of direction. thanks for sharing!

Hold on a little bit longer.
Your dream is only the final reward,
There are many more along the way."

Nice work here. Inspiring and thoughtful. It's wonderful when a writer can bring those elements alive as well as you have done here.

This poem was very well written. This could have taken some time to write. Very well done!

This poem was well-expressed and uplifting. I must ask, when you write that "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." Is your meaning that the attainment or achievement of dreams is the final reward? If our dreams have carried us this far and we are holding on to them because of that, I would think that reaching them would be the final reward. But saying that dreams are only the final reward and then saying that there are many more along the way seems a bit contradictory. Ah, I just reread your poem again. Perhaps it is that we should not stop when we attain our dreams, but to keep looking for more opportunities to attain even more dreams, so that we can remain creative and open? One thing I love about poetry is that one can learn and see more with each read of the same poem. Fine work, Legacy. All of your poems I have read have been inspirational.
