Category: the year in haiku

Learn from your mistakes,
Don’t make the same error twice.
Your time is precious

Don’t be disheartened
By unplanned difficulties;
Practice persistence

Act in the moment;
Don’t let a good idea pass
In case you forget

Savour the moment;
An unexpected pleasure 
Tastes all the sweeter.

Seek progress elsewhere
When interruptions arise;
Don’t waste a moment.

A new beginning;
Bring from the old what serves you
And outgrow the rest

Do not be put off
By the size of the challenge.
Expand your limits.

Good can be better,
Standing still gets you nowhere;
Practice makes perfect.

When life furnishes 
An unexpected ally;
See it as a gift.

Each new skill acquired
Will help you meet a challenge
Further down the road

How far can you go?
If you never take a chance
You’ll never find out

It’s never too late
Follow where your instincts lead
Keep the fire alight 

You’re not born with it,
Skills must be practiced and learned;
Write on the blank page.

That which is easy
Teaches us very little
Challenge makes for growth

Motivation slips:
Remember why you began,
Trust in your instincts.
