Category: the year in haiku

Be immune to slurs
Act like nothing bothers you
Overcome gently

Don’t go it alone
Support is there if you ask
Accept it with grace

Pause and self-reflect
Review all that you have learned
And come back stronger

Focus on progress
Think long, speak only of good
Always positive

Never take insult
Learn to overlook the slights
And pay them no heed

The highest ideals
Demand the highest efforts
Nothing less will do

So much to be done
The time for action is now
No time for delay

Avoid the extremes
All things in life must balance
Aim for the middle

Change and disruption:
See an impetus for growth
Embrace it gladly

Quieten racing thoughts
The answer will become clear
Within the stillness

Be good at your craft 
Bring excellence to each task
Take pride in your work

Unlock potential
Trust in your abilities
Then use them wisely

Eight feet pad gently
Leads jangling as they press on
Taking in the scents

Live in each moment
You only have this time once
Blink and it is gone

Don’t punish yourself
Mistakes are bound to happen
Forgiveness is key
