Perseverance (a poem)

I dedicate this poem to those who are actively pursuing their dreams, those who are afraid to take the first step towards their dreams and those who have forgotten to dream!


Do get hold of this book 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho for inspirations to pursue your dreams.

Perseverance

Pursue your dreams with steadfastness in life’s journey,

Enduring hardships like a bee searching for honey.

Remember that life is not a raceway, but a journey to be savored each day.

Share your God-given talents and gifts with fellow men;

Enrich yourself with love and fulfillment by giving them.

Valiantly encounter risks, for it’s by taking chances we learn to be brave.

Experiences gained are worth much more than a billion-dollar race.

Running through life without dreams is meaningless,

Alas for the unfortunate souls who have forgotten to dream.

Nothing is final till the moment you stop trying.

Cling to treasures closest to your heart,

Eventually riding out your dreams in life is a living art.

Two of you are my blog's greatest fan. Thank you. I am encouraged to write more by your constant comments.

At times, I just feel so dry or I have run out of ideas what to write. So, you can post some questions for me to write upon.
