My Life or Success DOES NOT Depend on You or Money
From this point forward
I will not stand
To be a coward
To be brought down,
Broken apart,
Broken hearted
From this point forward
My success does not depend
On how my friends think of me
And my strength does not depend
On my knowledge
My biggest fear is not
Being left alone
From this point forward
I will not look at those
Expensive clothes
And jewelry
And be jealous
I will not be afraid
To show that I am not one of
The richest people in the world
I will not measure to the money I make
As if it would determine my future
From this point forward
Being humble is not my enemy
And money is not my friend
Wearing too much make up
Is not beautiful
And living in a mansion
Is not ideal
I am no longer enslaved
To comparing myself with others
And it is not an awful day
When someone else can afford what I can’t
