Starting is Accomplishing

You’ve won

It may look huge from where you are Insurmountable, even That mountain where your dream is It seems so out of reach.

Other people may discourage you They may even demotivate you. They nod their heads in agreement Without a whisper of encouragement

That your small step is pointless Looking ahead is meaningless But you choose to persevere As they shout in your ear

As hard as it may seem, you step forward Focusing on your path, striding at your pace Letting them talk

As you continue to walk

Feeling the rumble of your heart Listening to its beat It’s not the beat of a worrier It’s the heart of a warrior Ready for the journey Excited for the mystery

For the journey is just starting And the future may seem startling

Today, you have your reward From onward you move forward
