What Does Not Kill You Makes You Strong

Whenever obstacles arise 
Hinders future possibilities
And pin the victim down
To the ground

Dangers of allowing
Obstacles to reduce our zest to life
Endangers our chances of victory and 
Slightly rob our happiness

Never succumb to pressures 
Of life but keep pushing
Till the new dawn appears

Kill the felling of self-condemnation 
Instil positive attitude and face your fears head on
Learn from your predecessor’s mistakes because
Learning from yours might cost you time

You are the champion 
Of your destiny 
Undoubtedly no one can do it for you, but you

Make each moment count 
Arise from the rubble of failure    
Keep your goals vivid
Elect strategies that drives you to 
Seal the day victorious. 

You are the champion 
Of your destiny 
Undoubtedly no one can do it for you, but you

Start the new day filled with happiness
To fuel daily achievement and 
Revitalize your future goals 
On the cards for success 
Never under estimate yourself
Good things are rewarded to go-getters
