Sometimes,
a day comes that changes everything
It could be an opportunity,
or it could be an obstacle
It could be for good
or it could be bad
Regardless of what it is,
the secret
to making it through is
you must embrace it
with eyes wide open
and accept it for what it is
No matter what the outcome,
as long as you have a positive attitude
while continuing to go forward
the end result will be beneficial to you
If you don’t take your chances,
your confidence will go
and
when you stop worrying about making mistakes,
you won’t make as many
Everything
will eventually come together
as long as you use
all of your main attributes
and
have complete faith in yourself
Writing is a process
A process of deliberate practice
A practice of effort over time
and in time, results in creativity
Writing is focused on progression
rather than perfection
Writing is the practice of
finding joy in words and sharing them
Perfection is the end result
The result determines
if joy is achieved
Regardless of results,
there is no stopping point
There may be milestones to celebrate
but,
writing is a lifetime journey
Writing is ultimately a choice
If you choose this path…
honor the process
Never be defined
by your worst moments
Always look for
the little triumphs
that help boost
your esteem and self-worth
to incredible heights
and relish
in that endless well
of positivity
Life can be fresh and exciting
when you change your perspective
It makes the boring and tedious
much more fun
If every day feels like the same,
then make little adjustments
and do something out of the ordinary
and you’ll see the world around you
in a new light
This will open up
better opportunities, brighter days
and happier times
So if you feel that
your life is in a rut,
change your perspective
When life gets in the way,
a lot of the things we like to do,
the dreams we are striving for,
seem to move away from us
No matter what we do,
no matter how hard we try,
we can’t get back on course
The way to fix that
is to shift the focus
back onto ourselves
and concentrate
on taking care of ourselves
in mind, body and spirit
Once we’re centered
all that we dreamed possible
can now come to fruition
A writer’s words
bring life
into the reader’s soul
It delivers an injection of
love, joy, wisdom, humor
and adds a dash of inspiration
that helps the reader
open their heart
to the world
The most memorable things we’ve read,
stay with us
because
we compile our experiences
based on how we felt in the moment
We use that excitement, that longing or that love
to make us know
how important it was
If you want to remember
the most beautiful or most precious thing you read,
don’t try to recall the exact words
Try to recall that feeling you had
then the true essence of the words
will surface
The reader’s…
smile,
sorrow,
joy,
disdain,
tears,
laughter,
enlightenment
are all a reflection of
the strength of
the
writer’s words
It’s not bad to dream
but sometimes reality
hits us upside the head
and makes us question ourselves
In that instance,
always follow what the heart desires,
summon all your will and strength
and champion that inner voice
It will help shine
a clear path to your goal
Because dreams can become…
a reality
