Don’t self sabotage yourself
by saying you’re not
talented
or feeling like you’re
ordinary
That takes a toll on you
both physically and mentally
You’re truly unique
and have the capability
to do great
You just need to constantly
remind yourself of that
until you
believe to be true
Memories are important
and it’s up to you
to make them
From the simple
to the grandiose,
it can be ridiculously stupid
or fantastically great
The experience you get from it
will no doubt be
a priceless treasure
in your heart
Don’t wish for things to happen,
make it so
Don’t be afraid of the outcome,
have faith
Don’t sell yourself short,
you are worthy
Cast aside all doubt,
challenge yourself
to be great
In doing so,
you open up your world
to infinite possibilities
where dreams become reality
It all starts with you,
your journey begins
when you simply say,
“I can!”
“Your imagination unlocks anything that’s impossible.”
The slate is wiped clean
Strive for the impossible
Your dreams have no end
I‘m reenergized
Endless possibilities
Seeking new frontiers
Always remember
Your past dictates your future
Make changes wisely
“Life offers us
many opportunities
some dare us
to be great,
some help us
to reach our dreams,
while others
enable us
to live to our heart’s content
Regardless of what path
opens up…
take a chance,
seek the unknown,
bring clarity
to your true purpose
find out who you truly are
and be the best
version of yourself
Share it with everyone
and
make a mark in this world.”
If there’s something in your life that you don’t like, then do something about it. You truly have the power to make a difference. Nothing is set in stone, so be brave and initiate change. Get a clear picture of what you want and go for it with gusto. You may encounter failures along the way but stay true to yourself and know that you eventually get there if you don’t give up. You have one life, so live it the way you want to. There’s nothing that is so bad that you can’t fix or make better. Believe in yourself and have faith that life can be to your liking. Just dare to try.
We live in a hustle and bustle world where every minute of our lives is bombarded by things left and right. There are times when chaos ensues and others that leave us completely dumbfounded. Usually at the end of the day, we are completely exhausted both physically and mentally and end up sleeping it off only to continue with the hubbub the next day.
I’ve learned that too much exposure to all this commotion can sometimes cause us to freak out and wonder “What the hell?!”
“Is this how it’ll be for the rest of my life?”
“Will it ever end?”
“What is my purpose in the scheme of it all?”
“Things have to get better right?”
All these questions must’ve popped into our minds at one point in time. We’re either just starting to experience this, in the process of it or finally getting over it. Whichever one we’re in, just know that in spite of everything, we need to stop and catch our breath.
Look around and take delight in your children, your pets, your siblings, your parents, your grandparents, your friends; just watch them and know that you are what you are because of them.
Watch the sunrise or the sunset; by doing this know that you are lucky enough to live another day.
If your life is not to your liking, change it. It’s as simple as that. Have a job that sucks, quit. In a relationship that’s horrendous, end it. Want to try something new, be fealess and go for it. That cliche “Life is too short” is really true.
You got to where you are because you endured a lot and overcame obstacles that seemed insurmountable. You can go much further and better yourself and situation if you just have faith in yourself. Life is precious…so dare to be bold and custom life to your liking!
Dream big. have outrageous goals;
become the envy of those around you
for daring the impossible
Life is a wide open playground
that needs to be explored
with eyes wide open
and a cavalier attitude
Retain that dogged determination
every time you fall
and rise with vim, vigor
and an abundance of spunk
Become that person
you were truly meant to be
and be an example,
that bright shining light;
passing on that spark of hope
and inspiring others
to reach for their dreams
no matter how grandiose it may be.
How do you let go…
when for so long
your heart was
full of life,
had an abundance of joy,
content in all things
How do you let go…
when you know it’s time
but your heart and mind are
conflicted,
in pain,
lost in a sea of confusion
When it’s scary,
that’s when you jump
When your strength
is fueled by faith
When you take a chance,
see the world with eyes wide open
and dare to be great
That’s when you know…
it’s time to let go.
