The art of writing is a multi-step process. It involves commitment of time, effort in learning and trying, consistency in doing and the resiliency of overcoming.
Mark’s Writing Motto #42
Persistence
To Reach Your Dream
If God gives you a dream,
don’t let the world
beat it out of you
Have faith
knowing you can reach your goal
if you
have the determination to complete your journey,
put the work in,
and have the passion
to sustain your inner confidence
Stay In Tune
Don’t dwell in the past,
don’t fret about the future,
stay in tune to the here and now
because it helps to focus your attention
and makes the next step
to moving forward easier
Always Believe
Always believe that you can do anything. It’s real easy to look at the negative things with all the struggles and trials around you, but if you put your faith in God, trust in yourself, stay determined and work on things to make sense…you can continue to believe that you can overcome anything.
Mark’s Writing Motto #38
Follow your dreams and show a lot of ignorance to the doubts that you’ll hear, the obstacles that you’ll face
and the amount of time it’ll take to reach your goal.
Just Keep It Moving
When you are faced
with unforeseen problems,
just keep it moving
When you are tasked
with a ton of things,
just keep it moving
When insurmountable obstacles
appear before you,
just keep it moving
When there is darkness and gloom
surrounding you,
just keep it moving
The only way is through
Going forward will keep you focused,
your resilience will strengthen,
positivity will flow everlasting
and
the light will eventually appear
if you,
just keep it moving
Forever Onward
The steps are steeper
as you get closer to your goal,
so learn to love your expectations
and
pay close attention to yourself
to see how good you can actually be.
Always Go Through
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.
Mark’s Musings #30
Once you put wisdom and will on top of perseverance, you have the true formula to reaching your dream.
Singleness Of Purpose
Put all your energy
and
everything into
being the best
that you can be
Make that fire
burning inside of you
shine bright,
enough to drive
that tenacity
to its limit
If this can be done
then…
all things are possible
