The movie actor, Sly Stallione recently talked about his character "Rocky" coming from a poor family. Sly recently discussed on a TV interview about how we all have success bottled up inside us. Success does not take always natural talent because there are many tall basketball players who cannot make national basketball teams. It takes hard work, prayer, and focusing on the prize. That means never giving up and turning away from negative thinking. The shorter basketball player who puts in 110% will surpass all the other giants. If we want success we have to come and open the door to what God wants for us. This poem trys to bring that point home.

Success is in a bottle. It’s bottled inside us all. It does not matter if you are poor. It does not matter if you are tall. Success is inside our heart, and if we work hard and pray. This thing called “success” can become ours today. So get back to your goals. Hold on to your dreams. Don’t take any short-cuts , or try silly schemes. Just take up the cross, And follow God’s path. Allow God to mold you for His glory, and success will follow you always! Amen

An outburst of truth poetic style. We become what we make of ourselves. This poem support nothing in unreachable. If we want it badly enough. God and the faith he deliver us give a strength stronger than the obstacles before us. I enjoyed this poem.
