Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
The glory we need
Must be maintained
Seeking the knowledge
Becomes a daily challenge
To continue to learn and grow
To make today better than yesterday
Seeking the future glory
The goal remains the same
Make the world a better place
And remember to say the names
(George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery)
Tomorrow is not promised
But the promise of tomorrow leads the way
To ensure every effort today
Is made without delay
Waiting for tomorrow
Shortchanges things you can get done in the present moment
Wasting opportunity and precious time
To find the pot of gold you deserve
Start using your time today
To find your path to a better tomorrow
Dream Weaver
Be careful what you dream
Because sometimes dreams do come true
So, what’s the problem you may ask?
The dream you dream may in fact not be for you
Life provides opportunities for you to reach your goals
The key to this process is to know the correct path to follow
Look beyond tomorrow
Search for the things you need
Use this knowledge and your dreams to succeed

The storm
Round and round it goes
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
There are days it feels like a merry-go-round
Others, things are more controlled
The depth changes at times like the wind
A howling force that seeks attention
Then the calm, as the eye of the storm hovers overhead
No attention seeking, just the process of moving forward
What has this level of depth and speed?
It is simple, the life you lead

Step by Step
Steps in this journey
Mark the places I have been
Each one leads to the next goal
And brings into focus the dreams that I dream
Without these steps that I take
The reality of life will have to wait
Why put off what needs to be done
Take the next step in the journey
The life you want has only just begun

Open your eyes
Tell me what you see
Do the dreams you dream about still look good to you?
Can you reach the heights of greatness predetermined for you?
Nothing is promised in this world
You have got to make your own way
To ensure the promises of life
Get started today
Open your eyes to the life opportunities around
Set your goals and move forward
Stop hiding behind closed eyelids
Wake up and open your eyes
To the revolving world around

Knowledge (11/13/20)
The series of daily challenges presented
Provides a template to view
How to conquer the challenges?
It is all up to you
Life provides many opportunities to grow
The direction you chose, only you will know
Continue to strive through the growing process
Knowing that you hold the key to it all
The knowledge you gain
Helps to move your journey forward
And makes the challenges easier to maintain
Hope
Hope springs eternal as
I search the distant landscape
The path I choose will determine my fate
The goal is to win the daily grind
Which path will I take?
Determination sets the course as the search continues
Multiple options, multiple venues
Working towards the important things in life
Without trying the only thing left is strife
Life role
Living the life I lead
Let’s me see how mistakes can produce learning moments
Taking time to enjoy the world around
Produces the essence in this life I lead
Working towards goals, to fulfill this promise I need
Striving for perfection is what I bleed
There will be times when I do not reach my goal
The key to the life I lead is to find my role
