Never Accept Mediocrity,
Never Accept Mediocrity,
(Control What You Can)
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015
We were each,
Handed the gift of life, at birth,
So we had no voice
In circumstances that greeted us.
We can, to a large extent,
Control what we become as adults.
Good environment is essential
In determining life’s quality;
We fail, by letting negativity,
Dominate our thinking
And by not recognizing, that,
Believing is mile marker one,
On the highway to becoming;
It is difficult motivating the man,
Who believes his past
Will determine his future.
Before others believe in you
You must first believe in yourself
Tom
