it’s not that the people
with nice shiny attitudes
haven’t been banged up —
but they buff out their
dings and scratches with
gratitude and positivity
perspective and grace
resilience and courage
with purpose and faith
work hard
Run for it!
Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.

Failure is a shell — don’t let it harden around your determination.
The path
Follow your passion, and success will follow you.
Self-help

Work hard & shine!
Sometimes the universe tosses out handfuls of glittering opportunity. If it falls upon you, dance! Then get right to work.

If you’ve climbed the jutting trees to your lofty goal, you’ve far outdone the unscathed ladder climbers.
Your fill
There are lots of opport✻nities o✻t there. And yo✻ know what’s missing.

Fantastic shores
in bed at night his mind had a ferocious imagination
reality and unreality haunted his turbulent brain
the years ticked, an infinite clock of destiny
searching moonlight for the promise of a future
his reveries of heart were coasting on a fairy’s wing
as the world and universe drifted by fantastic shores
but the sea, work, and women — physical outlets —
were his anchor — something old, hard, and soft
