Living in a world full of standards
Here is what you should be
Here is what you can't be
I don't play by none of those rules

My real yardstick is the person I was created to be
So even if I live like you better than you
Still, I'll be a failure to the person I was meant to be

I don't want to reach the end of the road
To regret it all because I lived another's life
So, my success has nothing to do with your standards
Success is being me with no compromise.
Success is to genuinely live as me till the end.

This light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Tough times breed strong minds
Broken pencils still draw straight lines
Spilled paints can still make fine art
Hot fire makes for purer gold
Hustling hard but never selling my soul
Validation not required, I follow my heart
Unclear path coupled with a rough start
But no turning back
Pushing through till it's all figured out
This light of mine was designed to shine
No compromise
Only patience and perseverance till it's all right!

Today I stood against the beast
I realized he was a coward
He cowered before me when I roared
I am in control
I realize now
Oh ye beast within
I am in control
The beast within can be anything: procrastination, fear, alcoholism, *** addiction, laziness whatever it is, You are stronger and you can defeat the beast.With Determination, patience, time and love from yourself and those around you... stay strong

You should do what makes you happy
You should live the best you can at whatever time
The honest truth is life is short(fact)
At the end of the day, regardless of the amount of wealth you amassed  or the material things you collected
Were you happy?
Are you happy?
If wealth is what makes you happy, acquire it
If material things makes you happy, get them
If love makes you happy find love
Or at least keep trying
Ride that motorcycle
Wear that dress
Sing as loud as you can
Dance in the rain
Travel
Ps:I hope you are happy
Never stop trying
That’s the worst thing you’ll do to yourself
Live!

There is no gift
Greater than the gift of love
                  
No brighter feeling than
The selfless act of loving
                        
There is no
Satisfaction greater
Than the exchange of
The heart

Baby what I’m trying to say
Is that
I am full of love

If I give you my heart

           I hope that,
               You’re
               not
               full
               of

Comfort can be purchased
But peace of mind is priceless
Likes can be bought
But genuine love is invaluable
It's quite convenient to preach/teach
But practicing what you speak is honesty
It's easy to stand tall when you win
But it takes strength & a good heart
to acknowledge one's mistake.

When preparation collides
with opportunity,
that's how success sparks.
Luck/Favor sometimes play its part
by bringing preparation in
opportunity's path fast.

When you see success happen "overnight",
Behind that are many days of (unseen) grind.
If your hardwork hasn't produced success yet,
Keep grinding, keep believing...
Success lives on opportunity street,
Which is just around the corner.
