What’s wrong with you, sitting there looking at an empty screen?
What’s wrong with you, letting fear get in the way of your wildest dreams?
Why do you lack the courage to do…. so many things that you wish for?
Stand back and relax because tomorrow is just another day.
Don’t fear your thoughts but embrace them, let them come alive and dance around in your mind.
Don’t rush to end the endless thread of thoughts that want to stream through your head.
If only I was confident enough to get real tough, I could get a grip on my mind and embrace all of the beauty that lies there.
There is only one goodbye at the end of the line, why go there before you have created your masterpiece?
Stand up and make your way through the fray, fight for what you see.
Go forward, don’t look back, capture that dream and play make believe.
It takes gut to go for the glory.
It takes determination to succeed.
What would I get if I left things unsaid and didn’t push myself to achieve?

I nominated you all for the Liebster award at http://choosetoseewithyourheart.wordpress.com/2013/09/15/an-award-already-the-liebster-award/
Pass it on!
Thanks so much. What a great way to start the week!!
Pursuing ones dreams can sometimes be scary as all hell………………….but the hardest part is the first step………..
That’s it exactly. The first step can be so frightening. It’s the steps after that can be so rewarding (I’ve got to remember that).
It can be a very scary thing to pursue your dreams. I believe once you embrace your fear you can work past it and your dreams will become a reality.
I don’t know what it is about starting this book already that has me unraveled. Thanks for the comment. This is just something I need to jump in and just do already!
despair
what do you do
when your muse refuses
to cooperate
slinks into a corner and sulks
or sneers at you … “you suck”
hollows out your insides
and leaves you in despair?
what do you do
to escape the loneliness
of an empty page
staring at the same lines
over and over
until they disappear
in a mist of tears?
what do you do
when you lose self-belief
think you are not good enough
never were … never will be
and despite the affirmations
from your dearest friends
you wallow in self- pity?
perhaps you take a walk
find a peaceful place
to simply be – and reflect
thank God for creating you
brush strokes on his canvas
a composition for his song
loving you for being perfect
just the way you are …
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
perhaps then you can smile
through your tears of shame
rekindle the fire in your soul
And understand …
your muse never leaves you
He just waits patiently
For you to believe in yourself
to Be … Have … Do!
