Always know the difference
between
the dream and the plan
The dream
is something you aspire to
but the plan
is what you need to do to get there
Once you lay down that foundation,
then the path to your goal
is that much clearer
Know The Difference
Passion for writing
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
Seize The Day
We all have moments
we regret in life
and
we can’t turn back the clock
So we must
always have the fortitude
to forge ahead
and
seize every opportunity
no matter how big or small
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
To Veer Off Path
In the journey of life,
it’s okay
to take the wrong route
every now and then
You might find
some hidden treasure
that can be added
to your memory bank
The Writer’s Blueprint
There are people
that want to be writers
but few are willing to do what it takes
to master the craft
If you’re willing,
what’s the blueprint?
You must be willing
to make an attempt,
to fail,
to learn
You’ll fall at some point,
pause to take on other priorities
or get distracted
If that happens,
just get back on track and try again
Continue with your attempts
until you get it
Continue until you do not
possess self-doubt
Keep getting back up
and
strive to try again
Complexity Of Life
Life isn’t a mathematical question
It doesn’t have a clear solution
There’s no right answer as well
You’re just given a problem in life
and it’s up to you
to find a way
to solve it to your liking
Channeling Through Words
As a writer,
we channel our emotions
through our words
that come from our inner voice
and when
we share them with others
it conveys
what our heart is trying to express…
which is our true feelings
