My inspiration

Positive mindset satiates my hunger, In dark clouds, it finds silver linings to see. It carves out success, not as a warmonger, And its bravery swirls like tides in the sea. Walking its paths fuels daily ambition, With it, no time again will my self-trust fade. No setback can stir the winds of submission; My will makes failure retreat, deep in dismay. Struggles create success of long duration, That spark is a flame that I hold to chest dear. Lasting success will demand dedication, I pray that God's favour will keep my path clear. Their gatherings draw me, my footsteps align, For there, their uplifting voices rend the air. Their kindness and courage in harmony shine, Building new bonds through the wisdom they all share. The hope in their lives remains my guiding light, Proof that all dreams can be within easy reach. It isn’t just how long one groans through the night, But how one learns from the lessons life can teach.
