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”
Our words can be a dangerous weapon,
so we need to always
think before we speak
A fired bullet
can never be put back into a gun
So when your emotions run high,
pause and take a moment
to choose your words carefully
Remember…
your words can either
hurt or help someone
depending upon its intent
Writing
is an evolving art form,
so never stop learning
The moment you stop
and
think you know all there is to know,
then you should quit
Writing is a craft
that requires constant learning
You learn about yourself,
you learn from other writers
and you learn from life
So stay motivated
and
continue your education
If we can open our mouths,
we can open our minds
and
if that can happen
then,
we can open our hearts
There are people
that want to be writers
but few are willing to do what it takes
to master the craft
If you’re willing,
what’s the blueprint?
You must be willing
to make an attempt,
to fail,
to learn
You’ll fall at some point,
pause to take on other priorities
or get distracted
If that happens,
just get back on track and try again
Continue with your attempts
until you get it
Continue until you do not
possess self-doubt
Keep getting back up
and
strive to try again
Words
can
instill knowledge,
promote creativity,
allay anxieties,
comfort sadness,
inspire greatness,
evoke love,
and
heal a lost soul
The power it wields
has no bounds
So show integrity
when using your words
In life,
there comes a time
when you might feel
a deep sense of loneliness
When that happens,
reach deep
within your inner voice
and let your words
take your side
It will drive away
the loneliness
And you’ll come
to the realization
that you were
never lonely
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore for you to be happy.”
Don’t dwell in the past,
don’t fret about the future,
stay in tune to the here and now
because it helps to focus your attention
and makes the next step
to moving forward easier
If you’re willing to dig deep within yourself, then success will be around the corner.
