Try
What's the secret to success?
Please tell me if you know.
I've seen inspiration quotes
And all the anecdotes
Of lame to fame,
How they became
Larger than the stars.
How did they go so far?
Was it by being who they are?
They say it starts with a dream.
Well, we've all got one of those,
Big or small,
Tiny or tall.
So what do we do with that dream?
It's more simple than it may seem.
Start the ride,
Put one foot before the other
And hold on tight.
They say a very small percent makes it.
A high percent knows that
And doesn't try.
A high percent gives up,
Because they're lazy
Or scared
Or "too busy."
You're never too busy to dream
Never too busy to try.
A high percent gets discouraged,
But you don’t have to.
Just enjoy the journey
So you won’t lose the destination.
It might sound like a hard climb,
But all you need to do
Is focus on today.
Get up right now.
Do it.
Take a step.
You really can’t know
Unless you try.
