When life gets in the way,
a lot of the things we like to do,
the dreams we are striving for,
seem to move away from us
No matter what we do,
no matter how hard we try,
we can’t get back on course
The way to fix that
is to shift the focus
back onto ourselves
and concentrate
on taking care of ourselves
in mind, body and spirit
Once we’re centered
all that we dreamed possible
can now come to fruition
Just because you experience failures,
that doesn’t mean
the path to your goals
are closed
You just went off course
You need to
look ahead with optimistic eyes
and go beyond your limits,
as many times as it takes
to find your way back
to your intended path
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
I’d rather regret trusting my instincts than regret doubting them.
Always know the difference
between
the dream and the plan
The dream
is something you aspire to
but the plan
is what you need to do to get there
Once you lay down that foundation,
then the path to your goal
is that much clearer
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
We all have moments
we regret in life
and
we can’t turn back the clock
So we must
always have the fortitude
to forge ahead
and
seize every opportunity
no matter how big or small
In the journey of life,
it’s okay
to take the wrong route
every now and then
You might find
some hidden treasure
that can be added
to your memory bank
Life isn’t a mathematical question
It doesn’t have a clear solution
There’s no right answer as well
You’re just given a problem in life
and it’s up to you
to find a way
to solve it to your liking
Life is too hard
to go at it alone,
so make sure to have
your
family and friends
beside you
to aid you in
your journey
