Resist And Succeed Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Resist And Succeed

Rating: 5.0


Learn perspective and endurance.
If you fail today, you are stronger tomorrow.
If you fall today, you will soar tomorrow.
A boxer has lost every round to eventually win the fight.
He throws his bruised body into the pummeling of the opponent,
His eyes are closed with blood and sweat
But still looking for his opportunity
Until he lands the knockout punch.

Life is a struggle but your heart must never be vanquished.
Push forward in everything you do
To make your existence meaningful.
A hundred falls and a thousand mistakes
Will never define your being
But your dogged determination to resist and succeed.

OMG Uriah, this is telling it like it is. I agree with every word you have written here. Just because we don't get what we want today, maybe tomorrow will give what we seek. Very true words Uriah, and I give you a solid 10 for this. Thank you for sharing these wonderful, soul stirring words of wisdom. Love & hugs, Barbara
