I Am Success
Preparation addresses me at the beginning.
“Do you know what you’re in for?”
Passion lights the fire beneath me.
“You’ve wanted this for too long.”
Indecision stops me when I’ve just begun.
“Do you want this now?”
Determination helps me along the way.
“I know you can do this.”
Ambition greets me at the rest stop.
“Think of why you started.”
Optimism smiles to me where I would have broken.
“I know you can do it.”
Perfection haunts me throughout.
“It’s not good enough.”
Intelligence believes in me the whole way through.
“You are capable of this”
Drive nudges me when I feel like collapsing.
“You long for this, you wish for this.”
Procrastination drags me down.
“You can start in 10 minutes, at 9:30.”
Self-reliance pushes me when I’ve stopped.
“This is all on you, no one else.”
Patience meets me near the end.
“Just a few more, almost there.”
Success welcomes me with open arms at the end.
“Congratulations, you did it.”
