Let Yourself Shine

Be realistic while allowing yourself to shine.

Let Yourself Shine

To dream so big that it is out of reach
Is to set yourself up for failure.
To desire things that will never be attainable
Is to engulf yourself with sadness.
To hope for things that will never come
Is to welcome disappointment.
To wish upon a star
Is fruitless.

If you want to succeed, you must
Dream realistically.
If you want to be happy, you must
First desire what you already have.
To be proud, you must hope for the
Things that will come.
Most importantly, instead of wishing upon a star,
Simply let yourself shine.
