Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
Stay committed to your work
Stay disciplined to your craft
Stay true to your inner voice
Stay the course to your choice of words
If you are able to stay on that path
and not waver
then the life of a writer
is what you’re best suited for
Remember that
what you lack in experience,
you more than make up for it with
enthusiasm, determination and resilience
So when faced with a situation
you’ve never encountered,
apply yourself with these principles
and you’ll surely get the job done
Never falter in your convictions
Continue to elevate yourself
by knowing your weaknesses
and moving past them with the determination
to better yourself
Master everything and anything
that will make you grow stronger
with every change
Adversity
has a way of putting us
in difficult situations
that sometimes puts us
in a position of future
success
I don’t fear failure,
I fear
that I didn’t give it my all
when faced with the obstacle
Even if you encounter endless dark days of misfortune and sorrow, there will eventually come a time when that light appears. So hold out for hope.
When you feel that life is too hard,
never give up on yourself
As long as you stay true to this,
you’ll get to where
you want to be
Just because you didn’t receive what you expected, that doesn’t mean you won’t have another opportunity to try for it again.
When all else fails, go back to the drawing board and start all over again.
