Whether you're born into wealth or born into poverty,
It's up to you which kind of life you will lead.
Whether there are no influences or one too many,
It's up to you whether or not to consume.
Whether you love the leaves to fall or the flowers to bloom,
It's still up to you to live greatly before your doom.
It's not the astrology,
Or the people you come in contact with every day,
Or the circumstances you're given when starting out.
It's the thing few people have - that craving.
It's the desire not to let yourself go astray.
It's that determination that obliterates any doubt.
Oh, but these poor excuses!
"I have bad luck", or "They have good luck."
Luck? There's no such thing as luck!
Others, including myself, have thrived and gotten by without knowing what the purpose of luck is.
Hard work does not beat talent, hard work equals talent.
So, despite everything - no matter others' insight - you will always be yourself.
You may not change, but you will surely improve.
Despite everything, no one or no thing will ever be able to define you.
Despite everything, your results will be worth it all.
Despite everything, your actions will matter.
