The Power of Persistence
Giving up is not an option for you or for me
After so many noes, today I realised
Even the successful people were once where I am
The common trait is they never gave up
They fell, got up, and tried again, and again
So today I say thank you to the noes
Even though it hurts, they’ve taught me to be strong
I say yes to me, yes to falling, learning, applying, and getting up
I know that success is possible, if I keep moving forward
The signs are all around me, which assures me
Miracles are possible if I just keep trying
Podcasts and mentors, who share their stories
Of perseverance and determination
I’ll wake up and show up, as many times as it takes
I’ll take risks, and make mistakes
I’ll keep climbing, till I reach my summit
For I know that anything is possible, if I keep pushing forward
With each step, I’ll become more resilient
With each stumble, I’ll grow stronger
For I know that success is not final
But the determination to keep going is
I’ll never give up on my dreams
For they’re what fuels my fire and my beams
I’ll chase them relentlessly, till they come true
For giving up is not an option, not for me and not for you
