Pilot
“A single drop of rain can weigh
Fifty times as much
As a mosquito,
Yet, the insect flies through a downpour
Without injury.”
Size can’t affect a persevering being
There are setbacks
And challenges
And changes
Everything trying to bring you down
It’s not bad to be affected by it
It’s more of how you let it affect you
Does it put you down?
Does it push you forward?
That’s up to you
You are the pilot of your life
You choose how you’re affected
Perseverance and adaptation,
The keys to making
Your life,
YOUR life.
In a lifetime,
One person could take on
More than ten people,
But what defines them as a person
Is how they handle it.
Perfect is unattainable,
The closest you’ll get
Is by persevering and adapting.
Change.
Be the pilot of your life.
