Desired Outcome?

What's your desired outcome?

Beginning with your first thought
which becomes,eventually
your first action toward
the sum total of yourself....

What's important to you?

Which eventually becomes
your self reflection...
who are you?
what are you?

There comes a time
when we recognize
everything in front of us 
is us....

The world it self,
with it's many challenges
is our personal test,to rise
above and become better
through and with selfless act's
to at least improve the lives 
of those around us...

Effort....
more important than
winning or losing....
our society is one that keeps score
which is fear based...
afraid to lose
some,afraid to succeed
and then,
there are some who will
take a win at any cost...
deep down though,
as long as your effort is true
and you know within'
you did everything possible
to do the right thing
allow your efforts
to be a testament of self...

So...what's your desired outcome?
