When life gets in the way,
a lot of the things we like to do,
the dreams we are striving for,
seem to move away from us
No matter what we do,
no matter how hard we try,
we can’t get back on course
The way to fix that
is to shift the focus
back onto ourselves
and concentrate
on taking care of ourselves
in mind, body and spirit
Once we’re centered
all that we dreamed possible
can now come to fruition
A writer’s words
bring life
into the reader’s soul
It delivers an injection of
love, joy, wisdom, humor
and adds a dash of inspiration
that helps the reader
open their heart
to the world
The most memorable things we’ve read,
stay with us
because
we compile our experiences
based on how we felt in the moment
We use that excitement, that longing or that love
to make us know
how important it was
If you want to remember
the most beautiful or most precious thing you read,
don’t try to recall the exact words
Try to recall that feeling you had
then the true essence of the words
will surface
As a writer,
your inner voice is special
and unique only to you
because it has been
entrusted to you
to be cared for,
to be loved,
to be cherished and guided by you
and most importantly
to be shared openly,
without restraints
to anyone and everyone
willing to listen
Make your words
open up to the world
and
connect the hearts
of all those
that dare to imagine
The reader’s…
smile,
sorrow,
joy,
disdain,
tears,
laughter,
enlightenment
are all a reflection of
the strength of
the
writer’s words
It’s not bad to dream
but sometimes reality
hits us upside the head
and makes us question ourselves
In that instance,
always follow what the heart desires,
summon all your will and strength
and champion that inner voice
It will help shine
a clear path to your goal
Because dreams can become…
a reality
Just because you experience failures,
that doesn’t mean
the path to your goals
are closed
You just went off course
You need to
look ahead with optimistic eyes
and go beyond your limits,
as many times as it takes
to find your way back
to your intended path
Writing is a craft
that takes time to learn
and
time to find your inner voice
It takes patience
to grow
You might get weary at times
but stay the course
and
you’ll become strong enough
to stay on path
and
move forward to
reach your dream
We all have a set course
that hopefully leads to our dreams or life goals,
but sometimes we become stagnant
and get disconnected from the endgame
When we become lost in thought
and can’t move on with in life,
just go back to the beginning
and remember
why we started this journey
and the purpose
for choosing our path
Going back to the beginning
will help us to get
re-energized into taking action
and help light that fire
that brightens our passion
