A Day That Changes Everything

/ markmkane / Leave a comment

Sometimes,
a day comes that changes everything
It could be an opportunity,
or it could be an obstacle
It could be for good
or it could be bad
Regardless of what it is,
the secret
to making it through is
you must embrace it
with eyes wide open
and accept it for what it is
No matter what the outcome,
as long as you have a positive attitude
while continuing to go forward
the end result will be beneficial to you

Take Your Chance

If you don’t take your chances,
your confidence will go
and
when you stop worrying about making mistakes,
you won’t make as many
Everything
will eventually come together
as long as you use
all of your main attributes
and
have complete faith in yourself

Honor The Process

/ markmkane / Leave a comment

Writing is a process
A process of deliberate practice
A practice of effort over time
and in time, results in creativity
Writing is focused on progression
rather than perfection
Writing is the practice of
finding joy in words and sharing them
Perfection is the end result
The result determines
if joy is achieved
Regardless of results,
there is no stopping point
There may be milestones to celebrate
but,
writing is a lifetime journey
Writing is ultimately a choice
If you choose this path…
honor the process

Take Care Of Yourself

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

Remember Your Feelings

The most memorable things we’ve read,
stay with us
because
we compile our experiences
based on how we felt in the moment
We use that excitement, that longing or that love
to make us know
how important it was
If you want to remember
the most beautiful or most precious thing you read,
don’t try to recall the exact words
Try to recall that feeling you had
then the true essence of the words
will surface

You’re Unique Inner Voice

As a writer,
your inner voice is special
and unique only to you
because it has been
entrusted to you
to be cared for,
to be loved,
to be cherished and guided by you
and most importantly
to be shared openly,
without restraints
to anyone and everyone
willing to listen
