What Can Your Live Deliver

"Stop for a moment and consider,
What your life can deliver

If not bound by fate,
And the victories it negates

For it implies not taking risk,
Complacency it’s gift

No path towards greatness,
Just everyday sameness

Fate is merely accepting,
Without initiating

An outcome,
However it’s done

Consider your passions,
To understand your mission

Chasing dreams and following your heart, 
Will overcome fate from the start

It’s called destiny,
If you believe

In its power to overcome fate,
Is the same power to make your life great

So take a calculated risk,
Because no life should have an asterisk

To never have tempted fate,
An eternity, you will regretfully contemplate

Only a first step is required,
Towards a life you desire

Where possibilities and dreams come true, 
All you need, is to believe in you
