As long as
you have your unshakeable self,
you can dig both feet
into the ground with all your might
and stand firm
As long as
you know who you are,
all your doubts, hesitation and frustration
will disappear
And no obstacle in life
will be impossible
to overcome
You can do all of this
as long as
you remain who you are
Never be content
with how good you are
in whatever you do
Always strive to improve
in every aspect of yourself and abilities
every day
Your words
pass on your memories
to all of those that read them
So be grateful
because
now your readers
have inherited your memories
and they in turn
will pass them on
Be “fearless” in your devotion to your craft.
Strive everyday
to better than
who you were yesterday
and make your world
an environment
where the impossible
is a mere bump
in your path of life
Don’t obsess with what’s missing in your life,
celebrate all the things that you do have
and relish in the fact
that you are there with loved ones to do so
Even during times of hardship,
never lose the goodness in you
That trait will help you
to find that spark of hope
that will help you
to overcome everything in your way
If you are in tremendous pain,
going through hardships,
or just feeling like your
world’s going to end
do not despair
Hope is everywhere!
You just need
to have faith in yourself,
trust what your heart tells you,
lean on the support of loved ones
and look forward
with eyes wide open
Just simply do this and
you will find HOPE
To encourage or inspire someone
through your words is difficult
To select the right words,
you must let go of everything
and let your heart be your guide
Once that happens,
you’ll be able to connect
with the soul of your readers
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
