Daily Success Motivation and Inspiration

I was feeling poetic inspiration today and thought I'd share something that was in my heart today. I hope this inspires you to measure your personal greatness and reach for it with unwavering conviction and belief.

The Measure of A Man...

The measure of a man is not was he's done
The measure of a man is that he has the heart to run
The measure of a man is his willingness to win it
The measure of a man is by his focus on his finish

Measure the man by his commitment to contribution
Measure the man who rejects retribution
Measure the man who chooses to forgive
Measure the man who lives and let lives

The measure of a man is not that he messed up
The measure of a man is that simply gets back up
The measure of a man is that he never quits
The measure of a man is not how fast or how quick

Measure the man who measures his life's cost
Measure the man who seeks to save the lost
Measure the man who knows responsibility
Measure the man who knows his own ability

The measure of a man is what he can become
It isn't his past or his falls as said some
The measure of a man is that he bounces back
That he weathers the storms and gets back on track

Measure the man who breaks from the pack
who charts his own course and never looks back
Measure the man who is about taking action
and takes care business leaving nothing lacking

So measure the man who by character stands
who's willing to work with his own hands
Measure that man who loves real hard
protects his family, is ready and on guard

Are you a measure of the man that will always stand
never giving up, keeping committed to your plans?
Are you measuring your inner man according the a plan
one that reaches for your greatness and declares "you da man!"?

Measure yourself by what you can become
See your potential and believe that you've won
It's not what they said or what they think they know
All the difference will be made by where you think you can go.
