Hello hello,
The inconsistent me has finally decided to get back to writing to you lovely people. I have been in the process of revamping my writing and just getting back to poetry in all its forms. Soon enough you should see this newsletter get revamped as well.
Since change and new responsibilities have been a key part of my life in the last few weeks I thought why not talk about that today. Friends of mine who have been creating content of any form and in any media know that change is inevitable if growth is your priority. But the running around involved in getting to the eventual goal is not easy and in most cases devoid of any company. Treading a treacherous path without the right or any support system in most cases is difficult. There will be days when you will only question yourself multiple times to understand if you really want to do this.
This journey of entrepreneurship, content creation or even just building a stable career in the corporate world is one full of trials and temptations. For what its worth, revisiting the end goal every day is a perfect way to remind yourself why you are on this journey and ease the pain. You will need to consciously sit down everyday to track your progress and look for help when needed without just leaving it onto eventuality. And of course, from what I have seen in my journey so far, the results are sweet if you do what you could do without focusing on what others say that you should. While I will continue to share my experiences all throughout this week, I hope Today's Poem, helps you stay motivated and keep moving forward.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low but the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many failures turn about
When we might have won had we stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
You can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
