Don’t work hard for the sake of working hard, work hard so that you can produce results.
Not For Show
Power of the written word
Being Authentic
In some way, shape or form
we all try to live up
to someone else’s expectations
By doing that,
it changes every aspect
of who we are
and hinders us in some fashion
Being faithful to yourself
and being comfortable
with your own standards
is the core of who you are
You are truly authentic
when you come to the realization
that you are enough
“Your” Plan Of Action
Once you decide on a course of action,
you should stick to it
regardless of who understands you or not
Since we all have
a unique way of thinking,
it doesn’t really matter
if we try to explain it
Our personal reasons
are meant for us alone,
not for others to make sense of it
Your Greatest Decision
The greatest decision
you will ever make in your life
is the path you choose
of your own volition
By doing so,
you will have no regrets
and won’t question
your every step
on your journey
to reach your goal
The Value of Feedback
If someone is willing to give you feedback on your writing,
take their personal notes or comments as a gift
For someone to take the time to invest of themselves
into something you wrote,
speaks volumes of their support for you.
Common Traits of a Writer
Curiosity of the unknown,
fascination of what could be,
eyes of wonderment,
imagination without constraints,
inspiration to share ideas, experiences and dreams
These are some of the traits
that make a writer
continue to create with their words
Stay
Stay committed to your work
Stay disciplined to your craft
Stay true to your inner voice
Stay the course to your choice of words
If you are able to stay on that path
and not waver
then the life of a writer
is what you’re best suited for
Overwrite The Bad
We all have good memories
that we cherish
and we all have bad memories
that we’d like to forget
But sometimes the bad ones
can consume us
and burn it into our minds forever
The only way
that we can correct that
is to overwrite them
by creating more special memories
with loved ones
that will bring us
endless smiles
and fill our entire being
with pure unbridled joy
Infuse Your Words
Words infused with hope,
inspire the desolate
Words infused with serenity,
bring peace to the restless
Words infused with creativity,
spur imagination
Words infused with hilarity,
fill the air with laughter
Words infused with affirmation,
comforts the lonely and help them to connect
But the greatest words are
the words that are infused with love
because it brings joy and happiness to all
Welcome Adversity
Adversity
has a way of putting us
in difficult situations
that sometimes puts us
in a position of future
success
