Poems – A Piece About Fall.

There’s a certain quiet strength in fall. The changing of seasons can be an eye opener in so many ways. Nature is a tremendous teacher, and this time of year tends to teach us a lot about life; acceptance, resilience, fortitude, patience, and hope. It’s a message of hope and a belief that those tumbling leaves will grow again. We can learn a lot from that.

Poems – Waiting.

We spend so much time waiting for perfect.

The perfect time to start. The perfect opportunity. The perfect conditions.

In the end, all that waiting forces us to pass up on real progress. We miss out as time ticks by. 

We miss out on opportunities that exist in the here and now, the ones that we overlooked while we were standing by hoping and wishing. 

We can search in vain for all the right moments, but the right moment will find someone else who is brave enough to make it their own.

Poems – Expectations.

We expect a lot from other people. We sometimes expect others to bring their A game to the table….to be better friends, companions, coworkers, or family members. But are we doing the same? If we’re going to expect these behaviors from other people, we’ve got to first develop them in ourselves.

Poems – Make It Through.

So often, the trail to success or peace is littered with tears, failure, setbacks, discomfort, or trials of some sort. That’s just life.

But if you make it through, all of those little setbacks and unforeseen events become worthwhile parts of the journey. They become lessons. Tools. Bridges. All of those failures become the bricks that line your path to something greater.

What matters is that you did it, you endured, you persevered, despite the odds stacked against you. It’s impossible to get through life without a little mud on your shirt, without a few cuts and scrapes. But if you’re still standing in the end, there’s value in that. Keep charging forward.
