WHEN PLAN B BECOMES THE NEW PLAN A

It is an anxious morning

The agenda is clear but filled with dread

Keep cool and calm is the only internal message

Its time to take the new path

The old path was equally ambitious 

Plans always are expected to bring happiness and success

Structure and steps were meticulously laid

Passion and enthusiasm was consistently sprinkled 

The effort has never been negotiated 

Give it everything is what is always the message 

The environment was successfully engaged

The search of the ray was continuously on

Initial failure does not perturb

Decisions deserve perseverance, has been the learning

Motivation is not allowed to get dwindled 

It is the darkest before the dawn was the mindset

Initial failures are just sidetracked 

Early signs are evident but don’t allow a reaction

Keeping the focus on the goal is the motivating message

The night seems to be lasting longer than expected

It is not easy to inspire when uninspired 

Initial enthusiasm is giving way to doubt

The creeping sensation is taking over

The last try is finally getting activated

Kicking is getting harder to implement

By now, doubt seems to be preceding enthusiasm

The line of stop-loss has come and gone

Eventuality seems inevitable 

Even though it is the plan, it is not easy to accept

Defeat is a pill difficult to swallow

The dark cloud of dejection is still hovering 

Keeping an open mind is not easy to execute

Learning from failure has always been the attitude

Getting self to rise to the occasion is the orientation

But, doubt seems to create a crack in the foundation

What if I can’t do it again, is the popular self-talk

The tank is always full just need to be positively accessed

Plan B is equally ambitious, equally uphill

The need for passion is clear

It is time to eradicate the load of the past experience

How do we humans still strive?

What brings us to positive expectations even with failed pasts?

I guess it is as simple as today after yesterday

We all just get up, shred off our burdens and continue persisting

The past will seem distant when the mind is determined

Steps seem easier to line up and execute

The body follows the actions decided by upper management (the mind)

It is clear that ‘Plan B has become the new Plan A’
