Even when life
leads you to a dead end
don’t fret
You can always
turn around
and find another path,
another side street
that will lead you
to your destination
There’s Always Another Path
Never Know How Strong We Are
Making It Through
Sometimes,
a day comes that changes everything
It can be for good
or it can be bad
It can be an opportunity
or it can be an obstacle
The secret
to making it through is
you must embrace it
with eyes wide open
and accept it for what it is
Do everything you can
with everything you got
and
the results will always
be in your favor.
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
Take Care Of Yourself
When life gets in the way,
a lot of the things we like to do,
the dreams we are striving for,
seem to move away from us
No matter what we do,
no matter how hard we try,
we can’t get back on course
The way to fix that
is to shift the focus
back onto ourselves
and concentrate
on taking care of ourselves
in mind, body and spirit
Once we’re centered
all that we dreamed possible
can now come to fruition

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It brings you that much closer to your answers.
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.
Be The Catalyst Of Your Future
When you go after your dreams,
let nothing stand in your way
Do no let doubt sabotage it
Doubt is a mindset
that we all encounter
It may develop from past experiences,
or from future anxieties,
or other people’s opinions
Giving in to doubt
leads to uncertainty
and creates a fear of failing
It kills more desires than failure ever will
But the chance to get back up
and try again
is all up to you
Can you muster the courage
to challenge your doubts
and take action?
If so, you have the ultimate power
in making your dreams a reality
Be the catalyst of your future
Don’t Be Afraid To Fail
If you fail,
don’t be afraid to start again
If you never do what you love
because it’s scary
or you’re too afraid to even try,
then your life is unfulfilled
Can you ever be truly happy?
Won’t you have regrets?
So what if you fail,
just get back on your feet
and start again
and maybe, just maybe
you’ll be lucky
the next time around
