''What Will It Take?''

Audio: 166-What Will It Take.mp3


What will it take to raise the bar
and give it all you've got?
Will habits keep you stagnant
'til the fire gets too hot?

Or will it take the loss
of everything that you hold dear
To push you into action now
despite that inner fear?

Or will you wait until your back
is up against the wall
To finally say, "You know what,
I can do this after all!"?

Perhaps you'll have to look back
on a life filled with regrets
Before you break the cycle
and no longer hedge your bets

...Or, maybe in the morning
when you see the world anew
You'll just decide to do it
and show yourself what you can do!

Dedicated to Will and the other shining stars at Howard University! The world awaits your unique talents and vision! Don't keep us waiting any longer! Note: The first few Walt's Friday Inspiration emails included quotes from various authors and personalities. It wasn't until episode 19 that I tried my hand at writing the rhyme-based inspirational messages myself. The rest, as they, is history...
