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.

More people need to think about what you wrote. Some just may see that it will help them out. I wrote a poem that corresponds to what you have wrote. It's called ? on my profile. I think you might enjoy it. Keep writing man.

I am a little confused here " EXCEPT them with open arms" Is this intentional or do you mean "accept"? Considering the soft, single level of the rest of the poem, I assume that it was accidental. It is a cute poem tho, very mainstream. ---

Really honest and inspirational! Though I'm not that much of a fan of rhyming poems, this one is extraordinary and does bring up a good point. Doubt is the only thing that stands in the way of success. Without it, we are powerful. Fabulous job! :D

[Mary E. Green]

Yes true that. I'm just mad at myself for not making a private folder for my erotica poems! :-)

No we don't!
he is handling it awesomely!
ok so we are a little sad by the whole affair but, hey come one we are upset about a loss that he gave! This is the only place I have ever submitted my peoms, some may have been lost over time and so shall never be recovered unless I go a try and re-write it from a draft I have to dig up....hmmm
anyway this a just an awesome place and charlie has done so much for it, even now admitting his mistake and doing so much to try and fix it...

good on you charlie.

and you too keith!!!!

thanks so much for sharing and helping us all with your kind words.

and as I have said before:

"let the pen the pages and I carry you"

so WC hit a bump

"success is how how you bounce back up after hitting the bottom"

we'll bounce back even better!

smiling! awesome work my friend.

So true. As horrible and devastating as this was to some, in other ways it was an amazing event that brought us all together as a community like nothing else could. And, our connections, our friend contacts, were spared. There is meaning in that. We have all shared the pain of the great cafe collapse, and are bound by that experience, have a deeper appreciation for the heart and soul our fellow writers pour into their work, how blessed we are to have read and been touched by some of their words that are forever lost, yet forever hold a place in our own spirits.

Its true. Your thoughts really can set you free. A very inspiring and unique piece. Very cool. :-)

This really shows how we can really choose how we want to live life...we can choose to look at the glass half empty or half full

[This site'll lose your ..]

Sometimes, no matter how much you run from your success and dreams...they'll always find you...and sometimes success isn't a journey...but merely a destination that takes no effort...nah...I don't know what i'm talking about...I guess i'm just talking outta my butt...
anyways, great job, I like this poem...I can relate, i'm on a long journey toward 'my' success...I wonder if i'll reach it...

Good message. I like the pacing and the flow. The message also provokes me into thinking about my own personal dreams and how I am approaching my goals. Thanks
