Don't build a dream
then pull away the pieces
like a Jenga
and helplessly watch it crumble.
Show up for you everyday
and deposit daily convictions
one small accomplishment
at a time.
Only you can assemble
the framework
of your envisioned reality.
Give one hundred percent
more than is required
to keep your dream going.
Build yourself up steadily
to keep your
dream strong.
-Michelle Stradford 2018
