Be The Oil Poem by Doreenda Nikoi Kotei

*OVERLOOK*
To be able to hit your target,
You need to concentrate, focus and attentive,
Yes, the storms of life will bump in to scatter your progress,
The bad weather will set in to make your travelling tougher,
Your critics will certainly be there to make mockery of your sacrifices and efforts,
Fear, negative thoughts and your past mistakes will be hovering to hunt you down,
And you will loose people who can't stand your vision on your way up.
But you have to learn to overlook!
It is not all that you see, read or hear that you have to react to,
Some are traps set up to make you fall flat on the ground.
You may never know until you have overcome.
Just overlook!

*IGNORE*
Nobody talks about people who are going no where,
The enemy has no time attacking people without aim,
Naysayers don't pay attention to those without purpose.
To be a winner, a champion or a hero,
You need to learn to ignore!
And press through your difficulties with courage and determination,
Be tough! Arm yourself with inner strength and build stamina,
Know that the pains and pressures of life will surely come to an end,
But you have to learn to ignore!
Keep on jumping your hurdles and focus on the prize.
And faithfully, there will be someone at your next phase to help you sail through successfully.
Just ignore!

*LET IT GO*
What's eating you up?
What's giving you sleepless nights?
What's making you bitter, angry and revengeful?
Can I tell you something?
Let it go! Hunny.
You're far better than these.
Let nothing negative, evil and devilish take control of your mind,
Nobody gracefully got to the top without being hurt, opposed or ridiculed.
Learn to let things slide down your feet without getting inside you.
Take hold of yourself and maintain your peace in all situations.
You'll become your dream if only believe so.
Just let it go!
