When you feel that life is too hard,
never give up on yourself
As long as you stay true to this,
you’ll get to where
you want to be
Stay True To Yourself
Always stay true
Always Bet On Yourself
“Always bet on yourself“
When the skeptics chime in
and shoot down your ideas
“Always bet on yourself“
When the detractors give you the odds
stacked against you
“Always bet on yourself“
When the critics
try to break your will
“Always bet on yourself“
Your dreams and life’s goals
are kept alive
when your resilience, hope, drive, passion and heart
are nurtured through your belief
that against
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
you will be triumphant
So block out the unwanted noise,
have faith and…
“Always bet on yourself!”
Always Believe
Always believe that you can do anything. It’s real easy to look at the negative things with all the struggles and trials around you, but if you put your faith in God, trust in yourself, stay determined and work on things to make sense…you can continue to believe that you can overcome anything.
Mark’s Favorite Quote #5
If better is possible, good is not enough.
Never Lose Hope
When things in your life
go absolutely wrong,
never lose hope
When despair sets in
and you see no way out,
never lose hope
When the decisions you make
take you further from your goal,
never lose hope
When you try your best
but it isn’t enough,
never lose hope
Your faith in yourself
is unbreakable
You are stronger
than what you appear to be
Your will to overcome challenges
is resilient
You can make it through
all your dark times
if you keep that spark alive
and believe that
all good things will
come to fruition
if you…
never lose hope
Mark’s Musings #24
Staying positive adds to your internal well of hope.
Mark’s Musing #11
There is no such thing as a question without an answer. You just need to be willing to go out and look.
What do you do?
What do you do
when the carrot that’s been dangling
in front of you
gets ripped away
It’s like a punch to the gut
that just sucks the life out of you
Your whole world turns
upside down
Where do you go from here?
How do you cope?
Your battle worn
mind, body and soul
wants to give up
and throw in the towel
But your heart refuses
It is life!
No matter what,
it knows that you are made of sterner stuff
It pumps hope into your core
The source that keeps you alive
that wills you to move forward
past the disappointment,
and the pain
It becomes a shot of adrenaline
that courses through your very fiber
that makes your determination,
your drive
ten times stronger than it was before
and gives you the resolve
to take on greater things
and gives you a true sense of peace
knowing that you’ll overcome
the next disappointment
with strength and inner confidence
and a heart that can
truly stand the test of time.
