You are where you’re supposed to be
You are a part of your family and friend’s world
You’re there in their universe to bring your heart,
to instill in them with love, support, guidance and hope
So be honored that you’ll accompany them
every step of the way of their life
whether you’re with them physically or in spirit
As long as you’re alive,
you can come back from every failure you encounter
As long as you’re alive,
you can take another step forward and make progress toward your goals
As long as you’re alive,
you can continue to dream to keep your spirit flourishing
As long as you’re alive,
be eternally grateful that you simply have another chance
If someone is willing to give you feedback on your writing,
take their personal notes or comments as a gift
For someone to take the time to invest of themselves
into something you wrote,
speaks volumes of their support for you.
Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
When your strength and drive
cannot continue to help sustain
your fight towards overcoming life’s obstacles,
let your sheer courage
take over and help you to
achieve success
Curiosity of the unknown,
fascination of what could be,
eyes of wonderment,
imagination without constraints,
inspiration to share ideas, experiences and dreams
These are some of the traits
that make a writer
continue to create with their words
Stay committed to your work
Stay disciplined to your craft
Stay true to your inner voice
Stay the course to your choice of words
If you are able to stay on that path
and not waver
then the life of a writer
is what you’re best suited for
We all have good memories
that we cherish
and we all have bad memories
that we’d like to forget
But sometimes the bad ones
can consume us
and burn it into our minds forever
The only way
that we can correct that
is to overwrite them
by creating more special memories
with loved ones
that will bring us
endless smiles
and fill our entire being
with pure unbridled joy
Remember that
what you lack in experience,
you more than make up for it with
enthusiasm, determination and resilience
So when faced with a situation
you’ve never encountered,
apply yourself with these principles
and you’ll surely get the job done
Never falter in your convictions
Continue to elevate yourself
by knowing your weaknesses
and moving past them with the determination
to better yourself
Master everything and anything
that will make you grow stronger
with every change
