There are so many lofty projects in my mind
That I want to complete, but I do not find
The time or energy in my day
Therefore my goals idle dreams stay..
Once in a while I gather motivation
In such rare moments, in a burst of inspiration
I start out with gusto, chalk out a plan detailed
But by the next day I have invariably failed
To sustain my enthusiasm, I have moved on to address
More immediate, worldly concerns, I confess
*
They say that in order to create a habit that can be sustained
You need twenty-one days, but I rarely remain
Committed to my projects beyond a week or two
Making it to the third week is something I rarely do
*
Once in a blue moon I am able to keep
My promise to myself, it requires effort steep
But I find time and show up day after day
Despite various challenges, committed I stay
Unfortunately such occurrences are incredibly rare
I give up all too often, I’m painfully aware..
*
Rome was not built in a day, nor can I complete
My projects in a day, I need to be consistent and repeat
Whatever I have committed to day after day, or week after week
Maybe then I shall find the sense of accomplishment I so badly seek
Passion...unbridled
