Join my Instagram Channel: "One Percenter's" via @joshlynott POEMS: Poem #1: "The Curve" - Akash Patel Seek out the slope At the top lies a peak A steeper curve awaits An unforgettable place Your arena Your stage At the bottom, you can find comfort An armchair or two Below that, you'll find regret a path of no stress but seek out the slope there may be pain, certainly failings but as that peak approaches you'll find no regrets only fullness stay on the path stay on that curve. Poem two: "The Curve Part Two" - Josh Lynott I find my feet on the part that's steep, There is little space for others to meet. I yeard to stand where I am A position I fought for and will to the end. Smile, laugh, hurt, wish, cry, or complain. Choose your elixir without disdain. The curve is where you belong, But it's your choice to play along. I want you to fall and slide It's the best place to know you're alive. Kick the curb, stand on the curve That's the one place you'll truly learn. Resources: EP003: The Steepest Part of The Learning Curve EP017: Take Charge of your support network.
