Make this promise to yourself!

By Stanley Collymore

I’ll lift my eyes up to the stars and venture

to attain my genuine ambitions, but in

doing so I won’t ever allow myself

to be blinded by pointless daydreams or

unrealizable expectations, assuredly

always keeping both feet firmly

planted on the ground; in the

full and quite comforting knowledge

that if my yearned for ambitions

aren’t to be realized first time

round I can then always and sensibly,

learning from the mistakes that

I’ve consciously or perhaps

unintentionally made,

be more preparedly

capable in the

future to start

all over

again!

Observation:

Success and failure are relative terms; and how much we want the one or are willing to spinelessly capitulate to the other depends inevitably and considerably on our own efforts or marked lack of them!
