Caring for others
more than yourself
is the best way to
develop your moral high ground
Take The Initiative
Mark’s Writing Motto
Expect The Inevitable
There is one guarantee in life
and that is…
adversity is inevitable
So don’t fight it,
let it organically unfold
Don’t allow your expectations
to inhibit
your ability to do great things,
to have a sense of urgency,
to enjoy the process of your journey
and to have the courage to take on the challenge
at every step
Message Over Tone
You as an artist,
who is always striving to perfect your craft,
may encounter people
who will have harsh critiques about your creation
Do not be disappointed, defensive or feel defeat,
take a step back,
listen carefully to the message
over the tone of their delivery
and you may gain
some useful insight
into making yourself better
A Life of Fulfillment
When you look back on your life and you feel like
you never reached your goal,
it may seem like you never amounted to anything
As long as you lived it
helping people every chance you got,
no matter how big or small
then it was a life of great fulfillment
Mark’s Musings #59
Remember who you were in order to figure out who you want to be.
In Faith We Trust
People blindly place their trust in fear
more than they do in hope
So be strong in your conviction
to manifest faith
and believe in the possible
Words To Live By
Own your mistakes, don’t blame others for your shortcomings.
Your Worth
An individual’s worth
has nothing to do with
age, race, sex, religion,
wealth, power or status
It’s how they use their
heart to guide
their actions
to benefit the
goodwill of others
Mark’s Musings #58
Look deep into the eyes of your pet to see what true unconditional love really means
Putting The “er” In Your Life
As you go through the journey of life,
consider putting the “er” into it for some added quality
Become braver in making decisions you hesitate about
even if it means ultimate failure
Be smarter and learn from mistakes to experience success
Be stronger to forge ahead in whatever you do and
become a believer in who you are and what you will accomplish
Continue to be a supporter of your family and friends and
bring laughter into their lives to create precious memories
Continue to be kinder to your loved ones and to others as well
Become a lover of all aspects of goodwill so that
you can shine brighter and bring positivity into the world
If you are willing to apply some of these traits to yourself,
you can become a leader and inspire others to do the same
You’ll be a winner because of how these traits guide your actions,
you’ll be a better person for possessing these habits
and most importantly, improve your character
It separates you as someone of substance
which our world needs more of
