The Path to Prosperity

In the morning,
As you wipe away the sleep from the corners of your eyes,
Look up and say thank you with a smile of appreciation,
Despite all the stress you might have slept on last night,
At least you got to wake up alive.
In this Path to Prosperity.

Stretch your arms welcome the day with a warm hug,
Don\’t mind the cold you felt last night,
Don\’t mind the blisters you got yesterday from your hustle
Don\’t mind the chains that keep you locked up away from break through,
Don\’t mind the strings that pull you back when you are almost making it,
It is the path to Prosperity.

Place your feet on the floor,
Let the earth feel the soft touch of your feet,
Because once you put on your shoes,
The world will shake from the wrath of your faith,
Which is: \”I believe in my Path to prosperity.\”

You may not have something to warm your day like you warm your tummy,
You may not have perfume to aromatise your day like you perfume your body,
You may not have money to pay for a successful day like you pay for a drive to work in a PSV,
You may not have the sauce to make your life interesting like chefs cook sauce to make food interesting,
You have this belief. That you are on the path to Prosperity.

You trek all day searching,
Your determination cracks but hope mends the cracks.
You feel life is heating you up to crisp,
You are afraid of falling because you will become a wreck.
You just wish for a nickel so your life could be a bit of a silver.
You trek, you crack, you wreck for a nickel,
Because it is your path to Prosperity.

Life gives us tickles
Tickles that so painfully make us shed tears,
Tears of joy and mostly tears of sadness.
If a tickle of joy tickles you the you jiggle with it
If a tickle of sadness tickles you wiggle with it
If a tickle of giving up tickles you, don\’t smile at it, joggle with it
All I am saying is, keep moving, it is within the path of prosperity.

In this path, a kilometre with not even one tree,
Another kilometre all tarmaced and smooth,
One more kilometre all dusty and bumpy.
And yet another endless kilometre so hilly and sloppy.
In each kilometre you use a different traveling vessle.
In each kilometre like soldiers you encounter different hits,
All that matters is that you are always ready for the heat and have the coolness to survive the heat.
If you expect ice cubes in this path, All you are likely to get is snow.
You just have to always be prepared for any opportunity popping up.
It is the path to Prosperity.

Like in the intelligence movies to ppssible terrorists,
\’We know who you are don\’t lie to us\’
You know who you really are so don\’t lie to yourself.
Open the inner most abilities let them become your possibilities
Don\’t be driven drive yourself, don\’t be sailed be the captain.
The Path to prosperity is yours to lead.

\”Nothing stops a man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscles. It\’s a strengthening of his powers toward accomplishment.\”
