The 5 percent

You remember the hard work and the dedication 
You remember all of the sacrifices you made and the risk you were willing to take
All they see is the success 
All they can say is how lucky you are and how you’ve gotten this far 
It’s one thing to talk about achieving your dreams but it’s another to actually make it your reality 
Everyone is worthy but how much do you really want it?
Are you starving for it?
Do you dream of it?
What are you doing to get it?
Hard work is rewarded 
To have a clear plan everything has to be sorted
You know it wasn’t luck 
It was drive
Risk taken and never losing the vision 
Everything fell in line with calculated moves and smart decisions 
Don’t be in the percentage that just wanted to achieve their dreams
Be the 5 percent that went for it
No matter how many failures 
How many nos
You will be happy with yourself that you never gave up on your dreams 
Strive for the bigger and better things
