Life's Lessons

Rise up from the negative thoughts that creep in your mind and consume your soul,
Think about the positive things of life that can heal your shattered dreams and make you whole.
Life is not about those who win, lose it never tried to rise above feelings of inferiority,
It is about giving so much time to be the best version of yourself and find your place in society.
I am not myself when I complain about what others have put me through,
And you are certainly not yourself when you fail to do what is best for you.
Never leave your happiness in the hands of people who don't care,
Make it your duty to inspire yourself and others who are out there.
If you fail to prepare then failure will be your only option,
No one will blow your horn you have to be your greatest champion.
Service to others can be your ultimate key to success,
It is not about losing out ,it is about creating happiness.
Life is not a race that you always have to win,
It is about hard work, sacrifice and the time that you out in.
So let go of missed opportunities and regrets that have become your history,
And get ready for open doors and new beginnings as you; rewrite your life's story.
