The Journey
Published on April 10, 2021
I shall continue my journey,
equipped with the weapons of courage and determination.
I shall rise in the morning,
grateful for the gift of being alive and aiming to make the day count.
I shall never back down out of fear or cowardliness,
I was bred to fight fiercely whenever life requires me to do so.
I shall always be true and just to myself, my family and my dear ones,
I am an honourable man and I shall make it up if I fail them.
I shall learn from my mistakes and disappointments and acknowledge my wrongdoings,
understand the lessons, have to heart and the stomach to suture my wounds with my own hands.
I shall be ruthless and indifferent toward worthless matters,
my time on earth is limited and I shall spend it wisely on what concerns me.
I shall master and discipline my soul, my emotions and my feelings,
when all blood flow back only to the heart it can choke the mind.
I shall never run away from myself,
I shall face any self-troubling matters with truth, courage, sharp mind and steady hands.
I shall expose my weaknesses to no one but myself,
in the wild jungle, only the strong survive.
I shall always be a warrior and never a worrier,
I shall feed my mind only with useful knowledge and be aware of the quality of my thoughts.
I shall keep writing and engraving my thoughts on my books,
my writings shall remain long after I finish my journey in this world.
