If your dreams came true, would you know it? We all like to think things should change overnight. But in reality, it would merely be an opportunity.
Many rags to riches stories end up back in rags. What good is it to obtain if you cannot maintain? Success is something you fight to get and to keep.
That which is given can always be taken back. But if you earn something, then it can only be stolen. For it was bought with one's blood, sweat and tears.
Against all odds, means the chances are slim. What happens when your strongest support wavers? Can you show everyone that of which you are made?
What is worth doing is never easy. There are no guarantees that our efforts will amount to anything. Those who long for glory, their longing shall continue.
The ones who deserve better will demonstrate it. Then, it no longer matters what they receive. Their worth will have been established, now and forever.

Shine a light
There is a lot in this world that is disappointing. But we should never sacrifice the positive to point out the negative. The good is here, even now.
Evil stands out like a dark spot on a piece of paper. It is loud and annoying like a barking dog. Good cares without a reason, and beyond such things.
Everything is better because of the few. In the darkness, they shine a light. The wicked flee, lest they be exposed for the nothings they really are.
Hard choices lead to hardened hearts. When the joy is removed, misery takes its place. How can one's belief survive when all seems for naught?
We must do our best to resist the gloom. So long as even one still cares, all is not lost. On the contrary, something wonderful has been found.
It is easy giving up, and we should never give in. Search for those lights shining in the night. Be one yourself: a radiant beacon to show others the way.

Paying the price
There are prices to be paid in life. And the more you pay, the worse your situation becomes. Bad times can lead to worse ones down the road.
That which you count on can let you down. It is a sad fact that good people often suffer. No matter the character, it does not change the treatment.
Doing good does not make anything easy. But it does demonstrate the kind of person you are. And that will resonate far beyond this mortal coil.
We cannot determine whether we live or die. Yet, we can use our lives to establish our worth. It will not go unnoticed, regardless of the outcome.
Those who do well should not expect to be rewarded. Because you care is cause enough. Do not ruin everything by centering it all around yourself.
Live life like it is your only chance. Make the most of every opportunity that is afforded. Some claim to deserve better, and others go out and prove it.

Endurance test
When you get knocked down, do you stay there? Or do you get back up and right back into the fight? Life is and always has been a test of endurance.
On the sidelines, criticism comes easy. From the comfort of an armchair, some feel they can lead the team. Hard decisions are made where it is not safe.
To succeed, one must have something to lose. You will struggle most when failure is not an option. For the ramifications can reach far and strike home.
When the enemy plays for keeps, it is no longer a game. Then, you are in a battle for your very survival. The winner lives, and the loser does not.
The clock starts when one is cut to the quick. Every drop that is shed is a grain of sand through the hourglass. Eventually, one's time indeed runs out.
Give it your all, while strength still remains. In the fray, is where one finds their worth. What evil cannot stand are those who refuse to stay down.
