Decisions

What will you decide for yourself today?
What is your self- worth, what price are you willing to pay?
How will you face the obstacles at hand?
For what exactly will you choose to stand?

You will be faced with failure time and time again.
But never give up, stay true to your domain.
Don’t look back at the dangers nipping at your heel.
Remain focused and steady under life’s keel.

Stay strong in life’s darkest moments.
Calm and steady will earn your endowments.
Make your decisions wisely sort through life’s odds and ends.
And never no matter what ring that bell my friends!

Thanks Arturo. The bell I'm referring to is when seals do their training. There is a bell and all you have to do is walk up and ring it. Then you are done with the seals and all of the hard training. It means that you quit. Stay safe my friend.
