Written when I was struggling to believe in myself and my goals.

Success and happiness can be yours,
for they are the result of unlocking internal doors.

The door of self-love is the first to unlock;
not opening this one keeps the others all blocked.

To love yourself fully, you must know who you are,
you are not insignificant, you are a bright star;

A star walking around in a human disguise,
whose purpose in this world is to give it a prize.

Once you know what the prize is that you came to give,
the next door to open is the one marked ‘Believe’.

You must believe that it is possible for you to succeed,
at achieving what your inner voice tells you it needs.

This need was a seed planted long, long ago,
and by unlocking the door marked ‘Self-Trust’ it’ll grow.

By watering this seed with persistence, and vision,
you’ll achieve success AND accomplish your mission.
