Category: the year in haiku

Don’t procrastinate,
Rouse yourself into action;
Leave nothing undone.

The choices we make
And the habits we follow
Define who we are

When others falter,
Ask only this of yourself:
“How can I help them?”

When the way is hard
Don’t judge another’s progress,
Their journey is their’s

No matter the size,
Be undaunted by the task;
Rise up to meet it

Conquer the unknown:
Preparation makes us brave,
Go boldly and seek.

Take the time to ask,
When the gut feels uncertain:
“How does this serve me?”

Overlook mistakes,
Fight the urge to criticise;
No good comes of it.

Push yourself further
See just what you can achieve
You might be surprised.

Don’t put off that list,
While you wait, it gets bigger.
Get started today.

Time to celebrate;
A successful completion
Should be recognised.

What you think today
Will create your tomorrow;
Choose your thoughts wisely.

The sting of failure,
A surefire agent of change;
Use its power well 

Be ready for growth.
Embrace the unexpected
With an open heart.

Handed down with care
Wisdom from the painted porch
Still holds true today.
