Persistent

Stay The Course

You can have doubters
telling you, you can’t make it
There are detractors
that may sway you from your path
There are critics
who’ll scrutinize your flaws
And there are many other
that may cause you to have self doubt
and second guess yourself
You may struggle with
overcoming your obstacles
You may be humbled by others
who are more talented
and you’ll tempted
to drop everything and quit
But as long as you persist
and never let go of your dream,
that is truly the best choice
you can make for yourself
into attaining your goal

It’s A Marathon, Not A Sprint

Writing is a journey
that’s not instant or passive
and
it is not completely result oriented
It’s a process of
delayed gratification
It’s an ongoing routine
that takes consistent training
over months and even years
Though the result is creating
art through your words,
the real reward is
the blueprint to perfecting your craft
and
the person that you become
To show up persistently
and put forth the effort,
it’s what you as a writer does
because that’s your nature
Someone willing
to expose and share
your emotions and heart
through prose

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.

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

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.
