Learn to be open minded
and ask people for their opinions
Accept what they have to say
whether it be good or bad
and ask yourself
“Is this something that
helps to explain where I went wrong?”
or
“Is this something useful that
will make me the best at getting better?”
Look deep into the eyes of your pet to see what true unconditional love really means
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
No matter what you’re going through in life
know that your loved ones are there for you
With them around it gives you
a different sense of purpose
Having family and friends
gives you a special perspective on life
They’re actually the reason
why you wake up every morning
Being there for them and
them doing the same for you
is what the true meaning of life is
Your only goal in life
is to be the best version of yourself,
not only for your but for them as well
A valuable life lesson that we’ve all come to know is that we learn and grow from our mistakes, but it takes true wisdom to closely learn from the mistake of others.
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
We all have good memories
that we cherish
and we all have bad memories
that we’d like to forget
But sometimes the bad ones
can consume us
and burn it into our minds forever
The only way
that we can correct that
is to overwrite them
by creating more special memories
with loved ones
that will bring us
endless smiles
and fill our entire being
with pure unbridled joy
Remember that
what you lack in experience,
you more than make up for it with
enthusiasm, determination and resilience
So when faced with a situation
you’ve never encountered,
apply yourself with these principles
and you’ll surely get the job done
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
Writing will challenge you
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally,
but that’s a good thing
because without it
you won’t discover what you can truly do
