Be “fearless” in your devotion to your craft.
Be Fearless
Never be afraid
It’s Just A Dream Until…
A dream is just a dream
until you act upon it
So make reckless attempts,
learn from all your
successes and failures
And every once in awhile,
pause to take a moment
to remind yourself
there’s no looking back
The only way to making
your passion
become a reality
is by simply
always taking a step forward
Stand Back Up
It doesn’t matter how successful you can be, it’s how well you can take the fall.
Always Make An Attempt
Failure is what happens when we stop making attempts.
The Write Path
For a writer
to master their craft,
there are no shortcuts
It takes years and years
of endless writing
and countless trials and tribulations
If you start to feel disheartened
and think you are
not up to your standards,
set your heart ablaze
Dig down deep and plow forward
because the flow of time
waits for no one
So catch up to it
and continue to create
and build your distinct voice
for all to see
Never Doubt Yourself
Never doubt your purpose
when you’re doing something
that takes you
one step closer to
your dream
A Day That Changes Everything
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
Search Deep Within
Sometimes,
no matter how hard we work
or how hard we try
we can’t find the success
needed to reach our dreams
When all avenues to our life’s goals
are exhausted
the only solution to righting the ship
and getting back on course
is to rely on our
inner strength
It gives us the wherewithal
to endure the eternity of darkness
until that spark of light appears
So when the chips are down
and you’re at your limits,
search deep within
and rely on your
inner strength
to get you through
the journey ahead
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
Mark’s Musings #34
When it comes to your dreams, complacency means failure. But failure is the foundation to success. So you should always try to do your best to get what you want and be ignorant of the obstacles in front of you.
