Writing occurs spontaneously without instruction
Your mind has no idea
that your heart
is helping you put
the words to paper
Whether it comes out in the form of
a lengthy story,
an eloquent poem,
a single sentence
or a simple word
The heart pushes our choice of words
to the forefront
to help us create
the act of writing prose
a natural phenomenon
To become a…
writer
You don’t need to be
the most talented,
the most eloquent
or the most creative
You just need to have
the passion,
the unwavering commitment
and heart
That will make you become
the best writer you can be
We are…
not defined by our past
and
we are…
not beholden to our future
We can
only determine our present
through the actions that we take
following our heart
The greatest writers in the world would be worthless if their hearts weren’t strong.
All great writers
that excel in prose,
answer the call
that’s burning in their hearts
When you have
no expectations for tomorrow,
you can write
what you want
with what your heart wants
at that moment
with total freedom
Don’t be afraid
to let your heart
choose your words
because that is the driving force
that will pull your readers
into your world
As a writer,
let your words take root
and enable
the minds of your readers
to develop the strength and courage
to strive for
whatever their heart desires
We all have goals in life
that we want to achieve
When setbacks arise,
just continue to dream
There’ll be people
who’ll question and doubt your intentions;
don’t worry,
just continue to dream
There will be constant obstacles
that throw chaos into your routine,
stay fluid and
just continue to dream
No matter who or what
comes in the path of your goal,
just remember your passion
is everything,
continue to let your heart, mind and soul
lead the way,
always press onward and
just continue to dream
When you start to tune out
what your heart is telling you,
it stops making noise
and the guiding force
behind your decisions
will lead you
down a path of uncertainty
So be true to yourself
and keep that fire alive
by just simply
listening to your heart
