In a world that's always moving fast
And telling us to do our best
It's easy to feel overwhelmed
And like we're not quite keeping up with the rest
But sometimes it's important to remember
That not every day needs to be a race
And simply waking up and trying
Can be a huge accomplishment to embrace
You don't have to be an over achiever
Every single moment of every single day
Sometimes just holding on and not giving up
Is a strength that can lead the way
It takes courage to face each morning
And to keep going despite the doubt
But every time you choose to keep moving
You're building resilience, without a doubt
So if you're feeling like you're falling short
Or that you're not quite reaching your goals
Remember that showing up and trying
Is an achievement that can make you whole
Because the truth is, life is a journey
And there will be ups and downs along the way
But as long as you keep waking up and trying
You're on the right path, come what may.
The Power of Trying
