Always Bet On Yourself

Always bet on yourself
When the skeptics chime in
and shoot down your ideas
Always bet on yourself
When the detractors give you the odds
stacked against you
Always bet on yourself
When the critics
try to break your will
Always bet on yourself
Your dreams and life’s goals
are kept alive
when your resilience, hope, drive, passion and heart
are nurtured through your belief
that against
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
you will be triumphant
So block out the unwanted noise,
have faith and…
Always bet on yourself!”

A Single Vision

Writing is not a collective form
It’s a single vision
and as a writer,
no one knows what your perception is
except for you
Don’t let anyone influence you
to change your words or style
Everyone sees everything differently
and for that reason alone
you should never compromise
your vision

No Limits

Don’t put a limit on yourself
and your abilities
Learn something new
everyday
It’ll empower you as a writer
The more you are open to learn
and the more you know,
the better you’ll be

In A Perfect State

For us as writers,
when we write,
we are in our purest form
Our focus is unwavering
Our emotions are aligned with our hearts
and
our words exude a distinct melodic tone
designed to fill
a specific void
in each individual reader’s soul

Make Your Reality Happen

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

Life Is A Blur

Life is a blur,
so stop
and
take the time
to bring things into focus
Spend time
with family, friends and loved ones
Do things that are
amazingly great or
incredibly stupid
Life is a blur,
so make sure you take a snapshot
of those special moments
because
it’ll last you a lifetime

Sometimes…

Sometimes…
you need to embrace what’s in front of you
instead of fighting it
Sometimes…
whatever happens,
is out of our control
Sometimes…
in order to move forward,
you need to take a step back
Sometimes…
we need to fail
in order to succeed
And sometimes, just sometimes…
things line up perfectly
and everything goes your way
So have a little faith
if you have a case of the “sometimes”
