In life's great journey, we all must find, The strength to persevere and the power to grind,

For the path to glory is not an easy one, It's a test of will, a battle to be won.

It's not just talent that leads to success, But the grit and determination that we possess, For when the road gets tough and the end seems far, It's the ones with grit that make it to the stars.

There was a young man, with a dream in his heart, To be a great athlete and to never depart, From the path that he knew would lead to glory, But the road was rough, and the journey was gory.

He trained every day, with blood, sweat, and tears, Pushing himself to the limit, overcoming his fears, He faced countless challenges and obstacles galore, But his grit kept him going, his heart asking for more.

As he traveled to the Olympics, his dream in sight, He faced the best of the best, a true test of might, But his grit shone through, his determination clear, He fought through the pain, and he overcame the fear.

His opponents were tough, and his body was sore, But he dug deep inside, and he found something more, A reserve of strength that he never knew existed, A fire in his heart that could not be resisted.

He pushed himself harder, with every passing day, His grit and determination leading the way,

And in the end, he achieved his goal, A medal of glory, a story to be told.

But it was not just the medal that made him great, It was the grit and the grind, the will to create,

A legacy of success, a story to inspire, The next generation to reach higher and higher.

For grit is not just a trait, it's a way of life, A mindset of strength, a path to strife,

And those who possess it, are truly blessed, For they know that in life, they can pass any test.

Grit and glory, a path to the top, A journey of strength that never does stop, With each step forward, a battle to win, A war against doubt, a test to begin.

For grit is the fire that fuels the soul, A mindset of steel that can conquer the whole, And glory is the prize that waits at the end, A reward for those who refused to bend.

With grit and glory, there are no limits, No challenge too big, no hurdle too immense, For when we tap into our deepest reserves, We find the power to push through and to serve.

So don't give up when the road gets tough, And don't give in when the going gets rough, For with grit and glory, you can overcome, Any obstacle and achieve the impossible.

So keep pushing forward with all your might, And keep your eyes on the prize that's in sight, For with grit and glory, you'll reach the top, And find the strength to never, ever stop.

S o if you have a dream, and it seems too far, Remember the story of the athlete and his scar, For with grit and determination, anything is possible, And the path to glory is not just probable, it's plausible.

So keep pushing forward, with your head held high, And let your grit and glory reach for the sky, For in the end, it's not just about what you achieve, But the strength of your soul, the grit that you believe.

Life will always come with up challenges, never give in. Because you have the Power of Grit and Glory
