Being Unstoppable

Some of us
When we get a notion
In our head,
Just won’t be stopped.
We will keep on going
Long after anyone else
Would have given up.

If a roadblock appears
In one direction,
Then we will take another,
Reinforced with
An inner faith
That there is always a way
To get the job done.

There is a determination to prevail,
A dedication to action,
An invulnerability to No!
A willingness to do
Whatever it takes,
And the strength to continue
Long after others have stopped.

Anything is possible
For those of us with the guts
And the ability to maintain our faith.
We can move mountains
If we think we can.
We can conquer the world
If we just persevere.

We are bound to win
If we just keep going.
It can usually be said
Of our successes,
That we swam against the tide
With a vision others couldn’t see
And we just kept swimming.

We aren’t the ones who insist
On pounding our head against the wall
In useless frustration.
We step back and find a way
Under, around, over or through
Without compromising our integrity
Or sacrificing our ideals.

We are inventive,
Flexible in our ways,
Creative in our methods,
Fixed in our focus,
Powerful in our resolution
And absolutely
Determined to succeed.
