Look the Tiger Right In It's Eyes

'
"Look The Tiger Right In It's Eyes!"

We all know 
what would happen
if a Tiger 
and a Man came 
face to face!
The Man 
would lose control 
of all his faculties,
and the Tiger 
would control 
the space!

That encounter provides 
a courageous means
to face 
the challenges 
in life that arise!
If it's going 
to take place
and it's up 
in your face,
then....
"Look The Tiger Right In It's Eyes!"

This is not some 
off the wall advice
for there are times 
when we need
"inner strength!"
Whatever works 
to bring forth 
the courage
at that time....
"Wouldn't you go to.... 
any length?"

Everyday challenges 
with which 
we are faced,
we must use 
common sense to analyze,
and believe this too,
it's much easier 
to do,
when...
"You Look The Tiger Right In It's Eyes!"

See, the Tiger 
is prey to 
"NOTHING!"
It's look simply 
evokes great fear!
One should never, 
"NEVER" go 
looking for trouble,
because that trouble 
"WILL".... 
quickly come near!!!

So whatever 
comes your way
on any given day,
to ensure your 
"peace of mind" 
restores....
"Look The Tiger Right In It's Eyes!",
and "BELIEVE" this-
If he blinks.....
"HE'S YOURS!!!"
