The Ladder of Life

Derrick Hooker 1978 (Dallas Texas)



‘’ The ladder of Life’’

I am climbing the ladder of life with all of my might knocking everything  right out that stands in my way as much as possible. I will not doubt myself on the way to the top of my ladder. I can tell that my enemies and circumstances don’t want me to prevail. They try to shake me, break me , and tear me down at all cost. I will triumph over them and be successful. If one thing doesn’t work, I try another and another, until I get it. It doesn’t matter what I have to go through. I will continue to pursue my dreams with open arms. I will not compare myself to others when feeling down and despair. I am climbing the ladder of life with all of my might. I will do whatever it takes to become successful in everything I  start I will finish and keep my mind body and spirit replenished daily!!
