Don’t be too preoccupied
chasing your dreams
to stop and cherish
those around you
that allow you to do so.
Don’t Take For Granted…
Power of the written word
My Favorite Quote
“You need to be prepared to fail in order to reap the seeds of success.”
The Phenomenon Of How We Write
Writing occurs spontaneously without instruction
Your mind has no idea
that your heart
is helping you put
the words to paper
Whether it comes out in the form of
a lengthy story,
an eloquent poem,
a single sentence
or a simple word
The heart pushes our choice of words
to the forefront
to help us create
the act of writing prose
a natural phenomenon
To Be Awaken
Whether it’s
sorrow, joy, anger, despair, humor or concern,
when you can convey
your strongest emotions into words
it’s a power
that will move you forward
as a writer
and your true inner voice
will awaken
Mark’s Writing Motto #54
Creativity all starts with how much you can tap into that inner child within yourself that knows no bounds.
Acknowledgement
Don’t acknowledge what was, acknowledge of what is to come.
Mark’s Musings #55
There are obstacles in life that will challenge us physically, mentally, socially and emotionally but don’t worry because there will be opportunities within those challenges that will somehow help us to succeed.
To Become A…
To become a…
writer
You don’t need to be
the most talented,
the most eloquent
or the most creative
You just need to have
the passion,
the unwavering commitment
and heart
That will make you become
the best writer you can be
We Are…
We are…
not defined by our past
and
we are…
not beholden to our future
We can
only determine our present
through the actions that we take
following our heart
Your Potential
You have the potential
to be a great writer
once you acknowledge that there are
other writers out there in the world
that are better than you
It is only then
that you are able to challenge yourself
to rise to the occasion and meet them
on an equal playing field
