Always remember to stay by the side
of your loved ones
and never drift away
Being near them
will help you
to share your courage
with those who need it
It will give those you help
the strength, confidence, and perseverance
to endure
all the pain and mistakes
they’ll encounter
on their way
towards achieving their goals
Selecting the right words
to convey your inner voice
can bring about endless hours
of hard decisions and intense scrutiny
But you need to go through that because
you have to become the writer
that is unique only to you
Writing will challenge you
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally,
but that’s a good thing
because without it
you won’t discover what you can truly do
In life,
you’re going to have
ups and downs
and things aren’t
always going to go your way
But it doesn’t matter,
you just need to fight through,
make the best of it
and make it
a good memory
Life is best understood in reverse
Looking back on everything that happened to you,
it all kind of makes sense
You see all the adversities and great moments
you’ve gone through
to get to where you are now
There are obstacles in life that will challenge us physically, mentally, socially and emotionally but don’t worry because there will be opportunities within those challenges that will somehow help us to succeed.
Life will present you many challenges that will test you physically, mentally, emotionally and socially; have the courage to persevere and look for the opportunities that lie in those challenges that will help you to press forward.
Sometimes taking the harder path can help set you up for success.
As you face obstacles in your life, go through them. Never go around them just because you are afraid. You’re cheating yourself. Going through the obstacles you encounter will help you to garner all the richness that your character has to offer.
Despite all the bumps,
stumbles,
trips,
and falls
along the way…
the journey is what makes us
But every now
and again
on your journey,
take a moment
to pause…
look back
and see just how far you’ve come
and
say to yourself,
“Hey, I’ve done alright so far.”
Stand tall,
and be proud
of where you started,
where you are at this very moment
and
where you’re destined to be.
