The power of faith, family and friends are immeasurable – they provide eternal hope, unconditional love and tremendous support
Strength Of The Letter “F”
Friends
Pause…Breathe…Reset
Sometime when we are
stressed, depressed, worried or have anxiety,
being alone in our thoughts
can be unhealthy
So take a step back, breath,
clear your mind
and make it a point
to seek out family and friends
Spending time with them
will reset your perspective on life
and will help you gain insight
The wonders of
friendly advice, loving support and good laughs
will do your soul wonders
So relax, for it’s not the end of the world
You will get through it and
come out stronger in the end
with a robust confidence
backed by an eternal well of hope
What I’m Thankful For
Despite what a terrible year 2020 has been, I’m thankful that I got a chance to strengthen my relationships with my family and friends…even connect with long lost ones. It helped me to lean on them for support and I learned that regardless of what life throws at you or what obstacles arise, if we face it together…together we will persevere.
What Keeps Me Going
When life’s obstacles
put my back against the wall,
what keeps me going…
my family
When challenges arise
and I have nowhere to turn,
what keeps me going…
my friends,
When darkness overcomes me
and there’s no hope in sight,
what keeps me going…
my faith
When the road is long and hard
and I feel like quitting,
what keeps me going…
my confidence
Living every day
is another opportunity
for me
to go for everything
I want and dream of
So never give up
When life brings you down
ask yourself,
“What keeps you going?”
Time Spent
Life is about
not wasting any
time spent with
family,
friends, and
loved ones
The greatest equity
that we can buy
in our current time
is…
time spent wisely.
Mark’s Musings #19
You don’t need to see the results of the good that you do if it’s done with sincerity.
Mark’s Musings #15
As my mind grows old and starts to fade, I try to create lasting memories with family, friends and loved ones everyday.
Push Through
Don’t settle in this life,
push through
and
keep moving forward
Don’t give in to doubts,
push through
and
build up your confidence
Once you’re able to
push through,
believe in yourself
and
tattoo that in your heart.
2019 Haikus
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
Be The Multiplier
Helping is a multiplying force. It’s a contagious virus that will compel one to infect others with it. There are no words to describe that sense of self satisfaction from aiding someone whether it’s asked for or unsolicited. It could be a grandiose gesture or a small deed, but the feeling you get from assisting someone is very rewarding. And the recipient has an air of deep gratitude; their appreciation is truly genuine because it comes from within. Some may even be inspired to do the same for a family member, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger. They in turn may render assistance for others as well. That’s the multiplying effect. It doesn’t take much to help someone, you just need to be willing to take the first step and spread some positivity. So what are you waiting for, do some good because helping is truly a multiplying force.
