Affirmations! 

 

Said the wind to the sea

catch me!

 

not playing the fool

 

the sea sent the breeze

making its own waves

 

Reminders to self 

to get the move on 

 

and go, not be stopped 

by someone 

 

who is always taking, 

but has nothing to give

 

either share or spare. 

Not spare dimes, spare time 

 

To get you somewhere

 you already want to be. 

 

Not to compete, 

but to let you see 

 

what it is to move 

beyond mediocrity. 

 

More than trick philosophy,

 the way to be... 

 

when you care enough 

about who you are

 

that you don't mind seeing 

someone else there 

 

between who you are

and where you want to be 

 

To find out, suddenly... 

there you are, too

 

Way to be...

somebody with views

 

to raise up 

somebody new

 

ultimately

to rise beyond that mark

 

hopefully raising 

someone else, too

 

Now that you've 

got business ties 

 

you can move on 

to the next phase

 

give yourself 

a raise 

 

put yourself in a position

worthy of praise
