Your Dreams-Doubts=Your FUTURE

Take a moment and look around,

Appreciate, what life has to offer.

Take a deep breath and relax,

Be thankful for the things you have.

 

Welcome the challenges of today,

ACcept them with open arms.

Look for opportunities in every situation,

Then be surprised, how things turn around.

 

Life is a series of challenges,

It's up to you to see them through.

A Challenge that is big enough,

Will reveal your strengths and abilities within you.

 

Creativity and innovation are essential,

For one to really succeed.

Your thoughts can consume you,

Or they can open pathways and set you free.

 

Success is a journey,

One, many fear to make.

Look inside yourself and ask,

How much am I willing to take.

 

Your dreams have carried you this far,

Hold on a little bit longer.

Your dream is only the final reward,

There are many more along the way.

 

Be prepared to ask yourself,

When you set forth one more day.

For things I want tomorrow,

HOW SHOULD I PLAN TODAY?

Words like this always remind a searching spirit .. maybe we've heard or read them before, but a gentle nudge just help us fly a little higher.

Think the upper case is a little heavy for such gentle words but other than that this is both a fine piece of writing and an inspiring one.

GOOD MSG. SOMETHING WE OFTEN 4GET ABOUT LIFE BUT THIS IS A GOOD REMINDER.

First, I'd like to say thanks for asking to be my friend. I'm new here. The welcome was much appreciated. :) This is the first piece of literature I opened of yours, namely because I am struggling with this very same issue: Fear. I wouldn't call these words inspiring in any way, just a simple stated truth of the struggle all artists face. Thank you for putting this into words. Now how to favorite this. Blasted new websites! I'll figure it out.

As for critique... Nothing major that I could give. I enjoyed the simplistic delivery of this. Too much purple words would've killed the effect. And your flow was non-deterring. Again... simple. And I vastly enjoy simple.

My only nit pick was the overuse of commas. Some places you used them where they were not needed. In other places a period would suffice. The capital C in accept (in the second stanza) bugged me as well, but maybe there was a reason behind that one?

Nevertheless, well done. :) I'll be reading more of you!

Very well penned. I find this piece to be inspiring and uplifting. I agree we should hold tight to our dreams and keep striving for them. This is what keeps us going, for without dreams we would all stagnate. Keep on penning.
