Personal Branding Pledge 2016 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Pledge 2016 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career This is the real time, a surreal time when obstacles fall away By simply approaching them and encroaching on a new field of play I go where I want because suddenly nothing is too tough No barrier is too tall, no opponent is too rough to defeat me Today, this year, or the remainder of my time here No ogre, no monster, no bully, no evildoer Will be the boss of me or scare from moving forward Suddenly it’s clear, this is no time to stall or stray This no time to malinger, no time to delay I demand rather than declare I command rather than dare Now I am in charge of my time, my mind and my career It took me quite a while to find out the truth This life is a jagged path There are no perfect routes I have found my way home on my own in the dark So I am not afraid to go out on my own anymore I am not afraid of hearing there might be closed doors Or that people won’t approve or vote yes or pitch in I am on a road worth traveling even if I am alone There is freedom ahead and what could be a bigger win Than relying on myself and getting away from the din Of naysayers and grumblers and bullies and bears I rise on the heat of all their hot air Yes, that’s me way up high, above and ahead In a place of my own, where no could have led me Because each of us has a unique way, we must find Our own place called success that’s uniquely sublime So stop trying to steal mine, compete with me or else You will lose your precious battle, which is really with yourself When you find your own path, you will love what you see I’ll be happy for you, because I am happy with me Feel free to ignore me if you can’t bear my zeal Because this is my time, my path and my purpose for real
