What if you wrote a letter to your goals? What would they look like?
This poem was inspired in April 2020 by my personal goals. I realize all the time, as you probably have, that dreams don't work unless we do. So, here's to you putting in the work. I hope you always find the courage to pick yourself up.
Below is a quote that should help:
"I felt foolish the rest of the morning, especially when I recalled the artists who had done their work in gulags, prison cells, hospital beds; who did their work while hounded, exiled, reviled, pilloried. And those who were executed...this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear." - Toni Morrison.
