Help yourself

When life gives you potatoes, make potato salad.
When life gives your war, fight your battle.
Along with success come the side effects of a hassle.
How does one get through it all?
The work can be as hard as trying to walk through a brick wall.
Effort is the key.
Be your own lead.
One cannot only depend on fate to change on its own.
Help yourself; give yourself the loan.
When one gives you a hand, feel free to grab on.
In the mean time, it's up to you to get what you want.
Opportunity can always launch.
Who's the one to get it?
As everyone goes at once, your independence cannot be out to lunch.
Something that's the most important of all is in your call.
When you get hurt, it's in your touch to heal the bruise from your fall.
You may get a boost, but in the end the outcome is entirely up to you.
