Your dreams
are earned not given
As long as you stay focused
and continue to elevate and grow,
you can make
all your dreams come true
Things Earned
Courage to pursue your dreams
The Starting Point
It all starts with a dream
If you can find one
that you’re truly passionate about
then your journey can begin
A Writer’s Work Of Art
When you pour your
every blood, sweat and tears
into your craft of writing,
you have given it
what no other artist
could give it,
a piece of your soul
Once you do that
you can truly call it
a work of art
Mark’s Musings #46
When it comes to pursuing your dreams,
do not be concerned with your slow progress
be afraid of thinking about all the possibilities
and not doing anything
Open That Door
Never be afraid
to open the door
to your dream
By doing so, you unleash
endless possibilities,
unbridled optimism,
strength beyond measures
that will all enable you
to aid you in your quest
to achieve what you only dared to think of
So find that key
of courage
and open that door
to your dream
It’s Just A Dream Until…
A dream is just a dream
until you act upon it
So make reckless attempts,
learn from all your
successes and failures
And every once in awhile,
pause to take a moment
to remind yourself
there’s no looking back
The only way to making
your passion
become a reality
is by simply
always taking a step forward
An Opportunity To Shine
Everyone hopes to get an opportunity
once in their life
to go for their dreams
Very few succeed
They’re the lucky ones
that got a once in a lifetime opportunity
to give it their all
Then there are those
that never get that opportunity,
for that chance to shine,
to display their talents and abilities
They’re the ones
that persevere and fight everyday
to strive to make sure
they are not denied that chance
to have that one special moment
where they can showcase
all that they are
in hopes of making
their dreams a reality
A Single Vision
Writing is not a collective form
It’s a single vision
and as a writer,
no one knows what your perception is
except for you
Don’t let anyone influence you
to change your words or style
Everyone sees everything differently
and for that reason alone
you should never compromise
your vision
Make Your Reality Happen
Strive to do your best
in all facets of your craft
Never settle for ordinary,
stretch your imagination beyond your horizon
Create words of
love, hope, humor and inspiration
and pour every ounce
of your heart into your art
If you can do this,
success will surely follow
So take action,
make your reality
take the place
of your life long vision
From Dream To Reality
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
