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
