Motivation

When I get bored and lose motivation, I remind myself of how far I've come and where I'm determined to go.  When I feel inadequate and jealous, I remind myself that envy is not the right emotion to feel and the right thing to do is strive to become something greater.  I must not forget the importance of hard work.  I mustn't give up now.  I have very few role models in my life but through them, I keep fighting the good fight.

It's not about the shoes.
It's about knowing where you are going,
Not forgetting where you started.

It's about having the courage to fail,
Not breaking when you are broken,
Taking everything you have been given,
And making something better.

It's about work,
Before glory,
And what's inside of you.
It's doing what they say you can't.

It's not about the shoes.
It's what you do in them.
It's about being
Who you were born to be.

"Work before glory."  I look forward to the day I can say loudly, "I'm on a boat."
