Live up to “your” expectations and no that of others.

Life’s Lessons
Know The Difference
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
Never Go Around, Always Through
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
Seize The Day
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
To Veer Off Path
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
Complexity Of Life
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
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
Mark’s Favorite Quote #7
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore for you to be happy.”
Stay In Tune
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
Breathe It In
Breathe it in,
everything around you,
the smell of nature,
the warmth of the sun,
the coolness of the rain,
breathe it in
You’re going to worry about work,
money, and material things
but nothing will compare
to how fast time will pass you by so,
breathe it in
The chaos you’ll encounter,
the daily grind you endure,
breathe it in
Even when the monotony
starts to set in,
breathe it in
All the wins and the losses
breathe it in
The time with your family and friends,
breathe it in
Every moment of your journey in life
breathe it in
Enjoy all the big moments,
but truly relish the small ones
because when all is said and done
when you look back on your life
you’ll realize they were all big things,
so…
just breathe it in
