When the world sleeps, your dream wakes.
When doubt whispers, your will break it.
Every page you read is a step forward,
Every failure you face is a lesson earned.

The journey is long, the climb is steep,
But destiny bows to those who keep
Showing up, fighting on, standing tall
Even when the night feels endless and all.

Remember:
You are not here to be average,
You are here to be unstoppable.
The world may test you, delay you, shake you
But it can never break you.

Rise, aspirant, rise.
Your time is coming.
Keep walking.
Keep believing.
Keep becoming.
