You’re always going to face
a lot of life’s obstacles
and lose,
but the courage to continue on
is what counts
The more times
you summon that strength,
the better your chances
at getting a successful outcome
Inner Courage
Inner Confidence
From Deep Within
When it comes to writing,
be generous with your words
and give your readers
an insight
of what’s at the heart
of your inner voice
Listen To Your Heart
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
The Power Of Your Heart
What do you do when the carrot
that’s been dangling in front of you
gets ripped away
It’s like a punch to the gut
that just sucks the life out of you
Your whole world turns upside down
Where do you go from here?
How do you cope?
Your battle worn mind, body and soul
wants to give up
and throw in the towel
But no matter what,
your heart refuses because it knows
that you are made of sterner stuff
It pumps hope into your core
that helps keep you alive
and wills you to move forward
past the failure and the pain
It becomes the shot of adrenaline
that courses through your very fiber
and makes your determination and drive
ten times stronger than it was before
Your heart gives you the resolve
to take on greater things
and gives you a sense of peace
knowing that you’ll overcome
the next disappointment
with renewed strength and inner confidence
that can truly stand the test of time
Just Have Faith
There’s power in having faith. So follow your heart and walk down the path you feel is right.
You As A Writer
As a writer
your words can not only change a person
but it can also change the world
That passion that you have
comes from the demonstrated ability
of years and years of putting
pen to paper
You are capable of evoking
thoughts and emotions
from your readers
So be grateful for all the writing
that you’ve done
but be more appreciative of all the writing
that you are going to do
in the future
So let your inner voice
bring forth your words
that you know can
ascend the test of time
Look For The Little Things
Never be defined
by your worst moments
Always look for
the little triumphs
that help boost
your esteem and self-worth
to incredible heights
and relish
in that endless well
of positivity
Be Patient
Writing is a craft
that takes time to learn
and
time to find your inner voice
It takes patience
to grow
You might get weary at times
but stay the course
and
you’ll become strong enough
to stay on path
and
move forward to
reach your dream
Let Your Words Be Your Companion
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
To Reach Your Dream
If God gives you a dream,
don’t let the world
beat it out of you
Have faith
knowing you can reach your goal
if you
have the determination to complete your journey,
put the work in,
and have the passion
to sustain your inner confidence
