The AmeriLife Struggle (of the past)

Nonsense ramble of lines. 09 April 2013

Came for leadership skills---

still achievable.

With passion and enthusiasm at your side, 

you'll achieve nothing less than what you strive for.

A test of passion.

You did this solely for yourself.

This does not define the next seven months.

Regret:

The worst regret is the regret for the unknown,

the "wish i had", the "what ifs"

will linger.

The better?

Doing something and wish you hadn't.

In every case,

a lesson is gained.

an experience.

a story.

...which cancels out regret.

So strive for your sacrifices to mean something.

Something good will come from this.

Build your endurance for the unpleasant

and transform it into something thriven.

Everything will work out the way you want it to,

with work.

The grass isn't greener on the other side,

you just haven't watered yours enough,

yet.

Comparing will break you.

Let your skepticism be enough of a reason to prove yourself wrong.

Pay attention to what works (for you),

and what doesn't.

Do more with what doesn't.

You have a choice, always.

Your actions reflect your values.

Keep them close to you.

Think back to where you were a year ago,

know where you are now.

Now, you have strength, passion, inspiration, empowerment, enthusiasm.

Now, you are driven.

Steer, still, on unpaved cement.

Nothing is certain.

Patience.

Keep your hands on the wheel.

Refocus.

Great things take time.

Don't rush it,

why rush it.

I am able.

I am capable.

I am willing.

This is your challenge in attaining absolute growth,

what I commit to.

This is what it means to be passionate---

to be able to look at the bigger picture

and consider that the little details actually do matter,

whether seen initially or not.

Realize you are a factor---

to the equation of making it all work.

to be willing to give all of Y-O-U

in the highest passion,

and especially in the lowest form.

It's dedication.

What we resist, persists.

And, you're the only one who needs convincing.
