The Pathway To Success

The pathway to success was never meant to be easy,
It's tiring. It's pain. It's tears. It's effort.
It's the need to continue to strive.
It's the need to allow your potential to achieve what it’s got to gain.
But...with the fear of rejection and failure,
It'll block your journey towards the end of the race but remember that-
It's another test, another obstacle that will break you down but will build you back up again towards your strongest state,
It's a reminder that your weaknesses will have its strength just like how your strengths will have its weaknesses and-
It's a reminder to not give up when you're on the pathway to success.
Remember that there is nothing stopping you but yourself at the end of the day.
