Putting The “er” In Your Life

As you go through the journey of life,
consider putting the “er” into it for some added quality
Become braver in making decisions you hesitate about
even if it means ultimate failure
Be smarter and learn from mistakes to experience success
Be stronger to forge ahead in whatever you do and
become a believer in who you are and what you will accomplish
Continue to be a supporter of your family and friends and
bring laughter into their lives to create precious memories
Continue to be kinder to your loved ones and to others as well
Become a lover of all aspects of goodwill so that
you can shine brighter and bring positivity into the world
If you are willing to apply some of these traits to yourself,
you can become a leader and inspire others to do the same
You’ll be a winner because of how these traits guide your actions,
you’ll be a better person for possessing these habits
and most importantly, improve your character
It separates you as someone of substance
which our world needs more of

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.

Sometimes…

Sometimes…
you need to embrace what’s in front of you
instead of fighting it
Sometimes…
whatever happens,
is out of our control
Sometimes…
in order to move forward,
you need to take a step back
Sometimes…
we need to fail
in order to succeed
And sometimes, just sometimes…
things line up perfectly
and everything goes your way
So have a little faith
if you have a case of the “sometimes”

Words As Weapons

Our words can be a dangerous weapon,
so we need to always
think before we speak
A fired bullet
can never be put back into a gun
So when your emotions run high,
pause and take a moment
to choose your words carefully
Remember…
your words can either
hurt or help someone
depending upon its intent

Never Stop Learning

Writing
is an evolving art form,
so never stop learning
The moment you stop
and
think you know all there is to know,
then you should quit
Writing is a craft
that requires constant learning
You learn about yourself,
you learn from other writers
and you learn from life
So stay motivated
and
continue your education
