Challenging words

This short poem was sent to me by a friend, I wanted to share it with you to consider where you are in life. Thanks Tara for encouraging me with this poem.

Not Like Most

While most people have decided to become part of the problem,
you have chosen to be part of the solution;

While most people question "Why?"
you have dared to ask "Why Not?";

While most people have accepted defeat,
you have accepted the challenge to compete;

While most people focus on the obstacles,
you remain focused on the openings;

While most people are overwhelmed by difficulties,
you have transformed them into opportunities;

While most people give up,
you certainly don't give in;

While most people have resolved to talk,
you have resolved to take action;

While most people have lost all hope,
you have remained hopeful;

While most people are discouraged by the output,
you are encouraged by the possible outcome;

While most have forgotten from whence they came,
you haven't forgotten who brought us this far;

And while most people wish they were like you,
thank God you're a person who's NOT like most.
