Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It brings you that much closer to your answers.
Mark’s Musings #36
Take a leap of faith
Never Go Around, Always Through
If there’s an obstacle
or a problem in your life
never go around it
always forge ahead
and go through it
If you try to take the path
of least resistance
then you’re cheating yourself
Going through
that tunnel of darkness
and somehow reaching
the light at the end of it
will bring you all the rewards and richness
you could never get
if you went around
Going through
will give you
the will, the strength, the knowledge and the confidence
to tackle and endure
anything and everything
that is thrown our way
Mark’s Musings #34
When it comes to your dreams, complacency means failure. But failure is the foundation to success. So you should always try to do your best to get what you want and be ignorant of the obstacles in front of you.
Be The Catalyst Of Your Future
When you go after your dreams,
let nothing stand in your way
Do no let doubt sabotage it
Doubt is a mindset
that we all encounter
It may develop from past experiences,
or from future anxieties,
or other people’s opinions
Giving in to doubt
leads to uncertainty
and creates a fear of failing
It kills more desires than failure ever will
But the chance to get back up
and try again
is all up to you
Can you muster the courage
to challenge your doubts
and take action?
If so, you have the ultimate power
in making your dreams a reality
Be the catalyst of your future
The Writer’s Blueprint
There are people
that want to be writers
but few are willing to do what it takes
to master the craft
If you’re willing,
what’s the blueprint?
You must be willing
to make an attempt,
to fail,
to learn
You’ll fall at some point,
pause to take on other priorities
or get distracted
If that happens,
just get back on track and try again
Continue with your attempts
until you get it
Continue until you do not
possess self-doubt
Keep getting back up
and
strive to try again
Just Keep It Moving
When you are faced
with unforeseen problems,
just keep it moving
When you are tasked
with a ton of things,
just keep it moving
When insurmountable obstacles
appear before you,
just keep it moving
When there is darkness and gloom
surrounding you,
just keep it moving
The only way is through
Going forward will keep you focused,
your resilience will strengthen,
positivity will flow everlasting
and
the light will eventually appear
if you,
just keep it moving
Face Everything And Rise
When faced with the unknown,
fear will occur
It will make you irrational
It will make you doubt yourself
It will paralyze you from taking action
and
it will justify excuses
Ultimately though,
fear is a choice
It’s not something we’re born with
but rather something learned through experience
To overcome it
we need to acknowledge it
by
accepting the failures,
accepting the hardships,
accepting the challenges
and
be willing to overcome it
by being steadfast and courageous
and facing everything
knowing that
if we give our utmost,
our very heart and soul
we’ll eventually rise
Strength Of The Letter “F”
The power of faith, family and friends are immeasurable – they provide eternal hope, unconditional love and tremendous support
Mark’s Musings #31
When the world says you can’t, listen with deaf ears and do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Stay True
A writer
who is true to their craft
must
stand by their words
and
own it
Believe
in your heart of hearts
that it was meant
to go out into the world
for all to read
