The Hunger For Inspiration  Just assure yourself everything will be okay, because it will.   “When you have a dream, just grab it and don’t let go!”   “Never stop believing in yourself, you can do anything when you make up your  mind to do it,”   and then there’s the notorious quote by Audrey Hepburn,  “Nothing is impossible. The  word itself says ‘I’m possible!”   Motivation and inspiration aren't supposed to expire are they?   When you want something bad enough you can’t stop thinking about it, you hunger for it, you can taste it, it will not go away. Some people start planning and mapping out their goals in their mind. Thinking,  “How can I achieve my goals?”  Calculating every step, each word, and even mimic how to act in order to manipulate a situation order to reach your life’s fullest desires.   If you don’t act fast though, that hunger can disappear. Sometimes when you think about something so much it just drains you ph...

                                                       DOING THE "TO-DO LIST"  How do you feel at the end of the day once you go to check off on your "To-Do List? Did you even make a "To-Do List?" What feeling over comes you when you look at your bank statement? Are you inspired to spend your money thesee days? Are you spiritually inspired, or does it feel like a chore when you try to go to church? Do you feel exhausted just thinking about these things? There's a variation of feelings that go through me when I think of any of these, least of all inspired. When you're motivated to make money something in you kicks and you become eager, empowered even to perform in order to be rewarded. We like the results of working...being paid. Are we driven by the reward? Yes, dopamine starts moving around in our brain. It's the "happy pill", that lets us kno...

  POEM While I was in fear… This feeling of despair, I felt the hardening to care. I trembled, I mourned in fear, but I knew it was here.  Then I opened the door to a whole new society, where I was a minority.  My flesh felt like stone, heart let out a moan.  There was no one around to blame, only myself left with shame.  I tried to reach for the door, my dial could bare no more.  Like stone, like coal, like a cold knife tearing at the bone; to think life had come to this.   What a meaningless deadly kiss, the faces faded from sight, and thus appeared a treacherous foggy night.  Lying tongues and black laughs filled the room, voices broke out with gloom. Standing in despair, I felt the swerving of my heart.  I could only express sorrow, I just stood silently apart.  It was now the end.  Is this is what’s meant to be? This is my destiny?  With my mind in thought and heart in prayer, that bitter hour, without anyone to care, ther...

  "Fighting Through The Pain" Whenever my heart is sinking low, my smile must never let it show. Whenever the skies are dull and grey, my laugh must be cheerful anyway.   Whenever I think I’ll loose all hope,  I must learn to live and cope. With everyday problems that may arise, I try to hide my smile or dim my eyes.  For each new day invites me to try to find the courage needed to live by. Then why do I just want to cry? The tears can't express the heart that wants to die. Whenever my heart is sinking low, my smile must never let it show. My laugh must be cheerful anyway. I have lost all hope,  I can't learn to cope. Everyday problems no longer arise, They block my eyes.  I have no more courage needed to live,  I have no more of myself to give. ©  reserved copyright 2024 Luciant Enterprises 702 All rights reserved.

                                                 FORGET THE PAST I can’t erase the things I’ve done, there’s no place left to run. Life is hard, but it goes on. The times of the past are forever gone.  I can no longer and dwell, I’ve put myself through hell.  I have to leave my lonely shell.  Go on with my life and start anew.  Live my days as if they were my last, without looking back, and forget the past.                                                                                                                              ...
