I will not be so easily defeated.

I will not so quickly succumb to circumstances.

I will stand up for what I believe in.

I will follow through with my plans.

I will overcome all that stands in my way.

I will take strides to become a better person.

I will exceed expectations.

I will ignore those who would condemn me.

I will exist with only two things in mind:

To cast aside all prior limitations of myself,

And to fight with every last bit of,

Energy that I possess,

Wisdom that I have gathered,

Skill that I have developed,

And breathe in my chest,

For what I believe in,

And those who I love.
