When things start to get tense,
keep smiling
When things are dire,
keep smiling
When your heart gets too weak
to endure everything thrown at you,
keep smiling
Until that inner strength
inside of you
blossoms bright like a flower
and is able to help you
take on and overcome
the issues that you are facing…
just keep smiling
You are where you’re supposed to be
You are a part of your family and friend’s world
You’re there in their universe to bring your heart,
to instill in them with love, support, guidance and hope
So be honored that you’ll accompany them
every step of the way of their life
whether you’re with them physically or in spirit
If someone is willing to give you feedback on your writing,
take their personal notes or comments as a gift
For someone to take the time to invest of themselves
into something you wrote,
speaks volumes of their support for you.
Curiosity of the unknown,
fascination of what could be,
eyes of wonderment,
imagination without constraints,
inspiration to share ideas, experiences and dreams
These are some of the traits
that make a writer
continue to create with their words
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
Never falter in your convictions
Continue to elevate yourself
by knowing your weaknesses
and moving past them with the determination
to better yourself
Master everything and anything
that will make you grow stronger
with every change
Adversity
has a way of putting us
in difficult situations
that sometimes puts us
in a position of future
success
Selecting the right words
to convey your inner voice
can bring about endless hours
of hard decisions and intense scrutiny
But you need to go through that because
you have to become the writer
that is unique only to you
When writing,
sincerity
is the most important factor
Your words carry more weight
and is able
to reach more readers
with ease
The color of a writer’s soul
should be one
that is burning bright red
It symbolizes
your intense passion
You swear loyalty to that,
you cherish it
and gain strength from it
and then live
without betraying that
That’s the writer’s codex
