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
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
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
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
Sometimes,
no matter how hard we work
or how hard we try
we can’t find the success
needed to reach our dreams
When all avenues to our life’s goals
are exhausted
the only solution to righting the ship
and getting back on course
is to rely on our
inner strength
It gives us the wherewithal
to endure the eternity of darkness
until that spark of light appears
So when the chips are down
and you’re at your limits,
search deep within
and rely on your
inner strength
to get you through
the journey ahead
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
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
