Quitters never win,
And winners never quit.
If you just give up,
That's all you're gonna get.
If you want to be someone,
Get something out of life,
You must first put something in,
Or all you'll get is strife.
Life is like a bank account.
You get whate're you save.
You get what you put into it.
You get back what you gave.
Cast your bread upon the waters,
And after time has passed,
It comes back to you in waves,
The past does not stay passed.
Be willing to work for what you get.
Be willing to earn your keep.
Don't give up when things get tough.
Don't just lie down and weep.
Put your best foot forward.
Remember you're not alone.;
For God helps those who help themselves.
Just keep on keepin' on.
A high paying job..
is what some might say.
That makes you successful..
in the world today.
Gathering gold metals..
might be worth a shot.
Success is not given..
We must try a lot.
Success in your life..
can mean many things.
It's not just being married..
and wearing the rings.
We can be successful..
as long as we try.
Put your best foot forward..
and try to comply.
Success can't be measured.
Success will be there..
Success' INSIDE..You.
Show that you care.
Being successful..
means that you have love.
Love to give others.
Love from above.
Many successful people..
Don't drive fancy cars.
Successful people..
end many wars.
MATERIAL THINGS...
don't mean you're a success.
It's LOVE and FRIENDSHIPS..
that we want to possess.
Success is contentment.
Success..peace of mind.
Success is being patient.
Success is being kind.
Successful people..
are like you and like me.
It's not just our jobs..
that make success..be.
‘Put your best foot forward’, old hat
Now ‘Put your best face forward’
The more, the merrier
Isn’t it so Dear?
As if like Demon King, Ravana
You had ten faces
“Ten?”
More than ten
A face for every occasion
But then
‘The best one’
Reserved
‘Reserved for whom?’
Not for you
Not for me
But
That narcissistic selfie
And then to wallow in
‘Likes’
Oh! Don’t be stupid
Not that so yesterday
‘I like you’
But this so modern
‘Everybody likes me’
‘Like’- that abstract feeling
Has suddenly become countable
But then
These likes
Come with a condition
‘You like me’
And then, in turn
‘I like you’
A perfect
‘Give and take’
For all those
On-line friends’ sake
Now amongst the race
For these likes
Where is the real you?
Suffocating beneath
The mound of ‘likes’
‘Phew’!
But why should it bother you
Your life
Dependent on your face
And your face
Dependent on others’ ‘likes’
So, please continue on
Put your best face forward
There’s nothing called ‘Real’
In this fictitious world
So, why should you alone be bothered?
How do you with passion and purpose, get to doing for someone else the very thing you don't want to do?
How do you say yes, when you'd rather say no, because there is nothing in you that wants to go?
How do you stop dragging your feet, moving it both slowly and silently, longing for traction that never comes?
And how do you put your best foot forward for, not yours, but someone else's happiness?
How do you brace yourself for the 'show and tell', as you do your very best to see that it ends well?
I cannot truly say that I have the answers to all the above, but somehow, I resolved them all.

Put your ‘best foot forward,’
But which foot is the best?
‘Put your shoulder to the pump’,
What pump? I’ am getting dressed.
‘Shake a leg now, come on.’
Shake my leg how? I find it is fixed on.
‘Wind your neck in.’
Now what is that all about?
‘The washing line is full’
But there is no washing out!
Oh life is confusing, I wish I understood
All these crazy sayings, but I really am no good,
I may not be the brightest light, set upon the tree,
My head is made of wood or that’s what they all tell me
But when I decide to flash, I make sure it’s really bright
Because when I am a flasher, I can give them all a fright.
Born of stardust to experience duality.
Should I thank my Ancestors for providing a path to me?
They say sweet baby don't you cry.
But I don't know how to lie.
They say an empty vessel makes too much noise.
But I don’t know how to fill it with my voice.
They say look before you leap.
But I am afraid I will fall in too deep.
They say seek the daily truth.
But I am afraid it won't suit.
They say the tone of your voice speaks louder than your words.
But I have an amplifier with me to be heard.
They say an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure.
But I have none of the symptoms for sure.
They say listen to your heart's melody.
But I have a brain to follow my heresy.
They say temper your ego for it does not know divine timing.
But I love me being me in finding.
They say put your best foot forward.
But I love to read books with no foreword.
They say explore all paths and leave no stone unturned.
But I love to get lost in the woods in turns.
They say a rolling stone gathers no moss.
But I proclaim so do the stones that cost.
They say temper your ignorance, superstition and fear.
But I proclaim to be present here to be rid of fear.
They say being part is being whole.
But I proclaim everything is the same in the blackhole.
They say push the envelope
But I proclaim it is better first to say hello.
They say listen to your heart and intuition.
But I seek the proper instructions.
They say don't stop believing.
But I seek fulfilled living.
They say wrap your troubles in dreams and dream them away.
But I seek clarity when I am awake.
They say see the true colors and hear the true sounds.
I now know that is the source of true surrounds.
They say time shall heal all wounds.
I now know patience is a key to making mounds.
They say all is well that ends well.
I now know there is no journey, it's all destinations.
They say bridge the gap.
I go to formless from form.
They say inform yourself to reform yourself.
I go into the void where there is no self.
They say better late than never.
I go where there is no time.
Thank you for holding the truths and sowing tender love.
Now it's my turn to shine the light and reap tenderly in the Gardens of Thoughts.
There is a place, reserved for you and me,
put your best foot forward, if you wanna see.
Walk each day in the moment, as you go,
compassion, forgiveness and peace we must show.
We must have something, that the world does need,
we can’t give out, what others truly feed.
We can take a man to dinner, still can’t make him eat.
give a man a table, a place to put his feet.
Those words we give, are a seed unto the heart,
fill them with joy and love, peace, they will take part.
The world needs more understanding, forgiveness everywhere,
to do good things, is our cross to bare.
One by one, two by two, step by step you see,
there is a place, reserved, for you and me.
