If Glory Is the Purpose of Your Aspirations

A stubborn mind not distracted
by alluring thoughts, it can reach
its full potential by firmly believing
in those undiscovered possibilities!

Trusting your instincts is self-confidence,
nothing is achieved without commitment; 
plan ahead sacrificing pleasures for success...
what you wish for is never out of your reach!
 
When doubt prevents you from reaching
the finishing line: pause and reflect on what
went wrong, it would be too foolish to repeat it;
can mistakes teach us to be wiser in our choices?

Some envy the fortitude of an individual who
tries to beat every odd with grit and diligence:
if glory is the purpose of your aspirations, then
do everything in your power and be victorious!
