Poetry: Overcoming challenges

1 of 52
Write Now Write now User ToolsArticle Tools

The biggest challenge
is the challenge of yourself

your weaknesses
lack of will
the times you fail to persist
the times where you repeat mistakes
or when you learn but get
shy about trying again
with the new lessons assimilated

when laziness, or overcomfort,
when perhaps just a lack
of driving ambition,
prevents you being the
best you can be even
when you are good enough
to know how far it can go

Overcoming yourself is hard
because you may well know
all your weaknesses, but
you also know how to undermine
all your own strengths

So you have to get
ruthless with yourself
in the end, and that is
the strangest thing ever -
it's when you force yourself
100% with no excuses
to be everything you ever wanted
do everything you ever wanted
live the way you want, with
whom you want and enjoy it
as you want and when you want

ruthlessness like that is
very hard to find, you'll agree
