Words of Encouragement

On life’s journey, there’s no need to 
hurry,
Be confident, strong and fearless 
when seeking your fill,
Be excited, for in truth, there's no 
need to worry,
While enjoying life’s thrills, keep active, 
and don’t lose your cool.

The road, be it long or short, rough
 or smooth, take one step at a time, 
be adventurous, search, explore 
and enjoy all with a friendly smile,
Life’s short and only lasts a while,
When challenges, rejections and
frustrations show their faces, remain
calm and composed,
Take a moment, count backwards,
breathe deeply and keep your eyes 
tightly closed.

Believe in yourself, and don’t let your 
efforts crumble to dust,
Remember your goals, persevere, 
stay focused and on course, as 
finishing is a must,
Hold on to words of encouragement
to see you through the chase,
You will  be tired, rugged and scarred
from the countless miles you’ve clocked 
up as you keep with the pace,

Be assured that lessons learnt and 
experiences gained means your 
dreams and aspirations are on the 
way to being fulfilled,
Determination and perseverance will 
take you to a new and brighter place,
Securing you, your very own 
Satisfaction Cup, as you would’ve 
taken part in a great race, a race 
called living my best Life.
