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

Always Bet On Yourself

Always bet on yourself
When the skeptics chime in
and shoot down your ideas
Always bet on yourself
When the detractors give you the odds
stacked against you
Always bet on yourself
When the critics
try to break your will
Always bet on yourself
Your dreams and life’s goals
are kept alive
when your resilience, hope, drive, passion and heart
are nurtured through your belief
that against
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
you will be triumphant
So block out the unwanted noise,
have faith and…
Always bet on yourself!”
