Principles of Success in Haiku

Timed Achievement  
 
A goal timed with care,  
each step woven with purpose,  
the end line in sight.  
 
Peaceful Resolve  
 
Clear conscience, like light,  
guides calmly toward your aim,  
strong and sure of self.  
 
Fading in Shadows  
 
Misery awaits,  
for those pleasing all but self  
dreams lost in shadow.  
 
Bound by Purpose  
 
A man bound within,  
purpose wrapped tight in silence,  
seeking a new path.  
 
Ignition of Dreams  
 
Mediocre sparks,  
enthusiasm fans new flames  
ideas come alive.  
 
Roots of Achievement  
 
Strong roots lie at home,  
a foundation built on love—  
from here, dreams take flight.  
 
Climb to Victory  
 
Victory’s high crest,  
calls to those who dare to climb  
each summit embraced.  
 
Lift Each Other  
 
Accept who they are,  
raise others to reach their heights  
in strength, we achieve.  
 
Choices that Ripple  
 
Choose with all your heart,  
each act ripples in the world  
mountains shift through will.  
 
Steps to Achievement  
 
Humble steps build dreams,  
the first foundations of strength  
seeds planted grow high.  
 
Reaching for Stars  
 
Reach as far as stars,  
though the moon may slip away  
a light still greets you.  
 
Enduring Wisdom  
 
Thinkers mocked first,  
rise where light and truth endure  
wisdom stands honored.  
 
Beyond the Fear  
 
Goals lie past your fears,  
just beyond that line of doubt  
cross to find the light.  
 
Choosing the Path  
 
Past leaves its own mark,  
yet future calls with clear hands  
each step clears the way.  
 
Harvest of Effort  
 
Kindness sown with care,  
patience nurtures every bloom  
harvest waits in time.  
 
Giving and Letting Go  
 
Give, then let it go,  
accept what life brings in turn  
gifts of grace remain.  
 
Effort Rewarded  
 
Dreamers wait for chance,  
but the wise set forth to act  
fate favors the bold.  
 
Bright Anticipation  
 
Expectation’s light,  
steady heart and thought aligned  
mark the mind of strength.  
 
Listening to Truth  
 
Reason wears anger,  
yet seldom serves purpose well  
be calm, listen deep.  
 
Genius Within  
 
In each of us lies,  
a gift that lifts the world high  
secret genius.  
 
Strength and Balance  
 
Gentle with all things,  
yet firm, holding steady ground  
soft strength finds its place.
