When things start to get tense,
keep smiling
When things are dire,
keep smiling
When your heart gets too weak
to endure everything thrown at you,
keep smiling
Until that inner strength
inside of you
blossoms bright like a flower
and is able to help you
take on and overcome
the issues that you are facing…
just keep smiling
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
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.
Don’t leave anything to your question of “What if?”
Just keep going and never give up.
