Look deep into the eyes of your pet to see what true unconditional love really means
Mark’s Musings #58
The Art of Writing
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
Snapshot In Life
Don’t forget,
for all the precious times
spent with family and friends,
live vibrantly in those moments
then let the memories
remain with you
for an eternity
Mark’s Writing Motto #54
Creativity all starts with how much you can tap into that inner child within yourself that knows no bounds.
Take The Lead
Live by your own standards
and not follow others
When you make comparisons,
you rob yourself of your very soul
Life Is A Blur
Life is a blur,
so stop
and
take the time
to bring things into focus
Spend time
with family, friends and loved ones
Do things that are
amazingly great or
incredibly stupid
Life is a blur,
so make sure you take a snapshot
of those special moments
because
it’ll last you a lifetime
Write With Purpose
When you write with purpose
and
you write with passion,
your words
become more refined and polished
and
it helps to sharpen and enlighten
minds
that are in need of inspiration and guidance
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”
You Are So Much Better
Don’t self sabotage yourself
by saying you’re not
talented
or feeling like you’re
ordinary
That takes a toll on you
both physically and mentally
You’re truly unique
and have the capability
to do great
You just need to constantly
remind yourself of that
until you
believe to be true
Just Let Go
You are much better prepared
through your failures
than through your successes
So let go of your past failures
If you don’t
let go of the past
you can’t
make room for your future
Reset your mind,
look straight ahead
because
it’s time to move on
