Inspiration Through Pirsperation


A Navy Seal inspired me.

There was something in particular he made me see.

 

He said life was hard,

And many will quit.

We won't get very far 

If on our hands we sit.

 

We must discipline ourselves

To succeed in life.

We must prepare ourselves

For hardship and strife

 

Inspiration is not enough motivation

If we would progress.

We must rely on discipline

If we would give our best.

 

Inspiration is not dependable,

But discipline will inspire without fail.
