Make your words
reach those
that can’t be reached
Make your words
inspire
those that are seemingly lost
Make your words
educate
those who thirst for knowledge
And make your words
entertain
those who need an escape from their problems
Let your words
be the light
that guide people
to their destinies
You have the potential
to be a great writer
So always view your work
with an unbridled enthusiasm
As a writer, follow this principle every time when writing:
“Do it your way, all the way without compromise.”
Writing is a journey
that’s not instant or passive
and
it is not completely result oriented
It’s a process of
delayed gratification
It’s an ongoing routine
that takes consistent training
over months and even years
Though the result is creating
art through your words,
the real reward is
the blueprint to perfecting your craft
and
the person that you become
To show up persistently
and put forth the effort,
it’s what you as a writer does
because that’s your nature
Someone willing
to expose and share
your emotions and heart
through prose
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
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…
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”
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
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
