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
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
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
Choose to live in the possible when it comes to dreams of having a writing career.
Always know the difference
between
the dream and the plan
The dream
is something you aspire to
but the plan
is what you need to do to get there
Once you lay down that foundation,
then the path to your goal
is that much clearer
When you go after your dreams,
let nothing stand in your way
Do no let doubt sabotage it
Doubt is a mindset
that we all encounter
It may develop from past experiences,
or from future anxieties,
or other people’s opinions
Giving in to doubt
leads to uncertainty
and creates a fear of failing
It kills more desires than failure ever will
But the chance to get back up
and try again
is all up to you
Can you muster the courage
to challenge your doubts
and take action?
If so, you have the ultimate power
in making your dreams a reality
Be the catalyst of your future
If you fail,
don’t be afraid to start again
If you never do what you love
because it’s scary
or you’re too afraid to even try,
then your life is unfulfilled
Can you ever be truly happy?
Won’t you have regrets?
So what if you fail,
just get back on your feet
and start again
and maybe, just maybe
you’ll be lucky
the next time around
As long as you have a dream,
you have something
that wealth and fame
cannot compare to.
If God gives you a dream,
don’t let the world
beat it out of you
Have faith
knowing you can reach your goal
if you
have the determination to complete your journey,
put the work in,
and have the passion
to sustain your inner confidence
