Don’t try to imitate or follow
another person’s journey
just because they found success
It’s easy to be swayed
into thinking
you can do it too
but
your path is your own
follow it
and trust that
you’ll end up
where you’re supposed to be
Have faith in yourself
The moment you believe in that,
the more courage you’ll have
to overcome all odds
and
accomplish
all that your heart desires
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
I’d rather regret trusting my instincts than regret doubting them.
Choose to live in the possible when it comes to dreams of having a writing career.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It brings you that much closer to your answers.
If there’s an obstacle
or a problem in your life
never go around it
always forge ahead
and go through it
If you try to take the path
of least resistance
then you’re cheating yourself
Going through
that tunnel of darkness
and somehow reaching
the light at the end of it
will bring you all the rewards and richness
you could never get
if you went around
Going through
will give you
the will, the strength, the knowledge and the confidence
to tackle and endure
anything and everything
that is thrown our way
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
Follow your dreams and show a lot of ignorance to the doubts that you’ll hear, the obstacles that you’ll face
and the amount of time it’ll take to reach your goal.
When you are faced
with unforeseen problems,
just keep it moving
When you are tasked
with a ton of things,
just keep it moving
When insurmountable obstacles
appear before you,
just keep it moving
When there is darkness and gloom
surrounding you,
just keep it moving
The only way is through
Going forward will keep you focused,
your resilience will strengthen,
positivity will flow everlasting
and
the light will eventually appear
if you,
just keep it moving
