Why Your Growth Matters

I detest being a boring ore,

this job is not for me!

A fine bracelet or treasured jewel

I feel I ought to be.

The master heard, and said

“That’s fine, but a process it sure must take.

To change from your current to your desired state,

You’ll need to go through fire”.

It starts with a small degree of heat,

that’s bound to warm you up.

If currently you are unable to bear the warmth,

the fire will get you burnt.

So dear friend, it may be worth,

Focusing on growth not goals.

It’ll help to put up with the stretch

That helps us mould for gold.
