Category: the year in haiku

Learn to overcome:
Until you rise above trials
They will dominate

Steadily onwards
Constantly chipping away
Irrepressibly

Look closely enough
Buried within adversity
Is the way forward

Win the inner fight
Choose today, not tomorrow
Make it happen now

Steadily onwards
Each moment a precious gift
Be thankful and share

Hear more than you say
Hone the art of listening
Choose your words with care

Make a start with plans
Don’t wait for the perfect time;
It will never come

Breathe deep and slow down;
Quieten the noise in your head
To hear your real thoughts

Roll with the punches
Strengthen your resilience
Safeguard your progress

Festina lente
Urgency and diligence
Must be in balance

Look for the flip side
Make something good from your trials
Seize the chance to grow

Avoid excesses
Have temperance in all things
To find true balance

Foster discipline
Challenge yourself every day
To extend limits

Navigating change
A path through the uncertain
Leads you on your way

Don’t lose momentum
Take time to rest when needed
Then come back recharged
