LIFE IS A CHALLENGE

There is this incredible drive within me,

that makes me want to see,

if I can conquer things that seem impossible…

I just tell myself “I CAN” and I feel unstoppable.

The mind is an awesome, wondrous thing…

with positive thinking, it’s amazing what it can bring.

Our bodies kept strong and lean…

combined with the mind, is the ultimate machine.

We all have different desires and dreams…

set a goal and it’s not as impossible as it seems.

Whether physically, mentally, big or small…

if you set your mind to it, you can do it all.

Life is what we want to make of it…

I choose to swim, bike, run and be fit,

take responsibility for my happiness and health…

love, laughter, family & friends, to me, that’s my wealth.

Today, I bask in the euphoric afterglow…

my biggest dream came true you know…

inner strength, physical power, a desire within…

life is a challenge…let it begin.
