Why I Succeed

Why do I succeed?
I succeed because I am willing
to do the things you are not.
I will fight against the odds.
I will sacrifice.
I am not shackled by fear,
insecurity or doubt.
I feel those emotions -- drink
them in and then swallow them
away to the blackness of hell.
I am motivated by accomplish-
ment, not pride.
Pride consumes the weak -- kills
their heart from within.

If I fall -- I will get up.
If I am beaten -- I will return.
I will never stop getting better.
I will never give up -- ever.

That is why I succeed.
