15 Pencil Drawings to Inspire You

 

Enchanted Wonderland

As I drew back the curtains, a vision of pure magic awaited - a pristine blanket of snow glistening in the soft morning light, while delicate snowflakes danced their way to the ground. I was left breathless, taken aback by the sheer beauty of it all. With eager anticipation, I quickly dressed warmly to venture outside, and as I stepped out, I was greeted with smiles from everyone around. The snow had brought us all closer, as we braved the weather together.

Underfoot, the satisfying crunch of snow was music to my ears, while the tickle of large snowflakes on my nose and cheeks filled me with delight. As I made my way to the cemetery, it was as if I had stumbled upon a fairytale wonderland - a world transformed by snow into something truly magical.

Every step brought me closer to an ethereal peace, and as I entered the cemetery, I was struck by its sublime beauty. The snow had transformed the grounds into a realm of enchanted serenity, a tranquil paradise unlike any other.

The biting cold left my fingers and toes tingling, but the sensation of toasting them by the fire when I returned was the perfect end to an exquisite experience. I'm glad I didn't stay in bed.

How To Change Your Life For The Better

- Do things your future self will thank you for.

- Eat well. Get your calories in. Make sure your diet is balanced. Take supplements if you don't like vegetables. Have smoothies if you don't like fruit. Drink protein shakes between meals and before and after exercise.

- Brush your teeth twice a day.

- Drink plenty of water even if you're not thirsty.

- Make your bed every morning. How will you change the world if you can't make your bed?

- Keep your living space clean and tidy. Do it as you go, and it will become second nature.

- Be confident enough to be yourself. Embrace your body. If you can't embrace it because you feel ugly, then get in shape, for goodness' sake.

- Get in shape. Work out every day. You'll feel better and look better too.

- Don't be an asshole. 

- Be honest, even when the truth hurts. 

- Be polite. Manners cost nothing; if you're kind to people, you're more likely to get what you want.

- Be kind to everyone. You never know what demons people are fighting.

- Be humble. You never know when the wheel of fortune will turn.

- Say sorry when you're wrong. Change your mind when valid evidence supports it.

- Don't make decisions when you're angry. Let the emotion subside, and then make a decision based on facts. If there isn't time for that, go with your gut.

- Go with your gut. Listen to your inner voice.

- Don't be afraid to make mistakes, but never make the same mistake twice.

- Do what you love.

- Surround yourself with people you admire. It might rub off.

- Distance yourself from people that drain you and people you don't respect.

- Embrace every opportunity that comes your way.

- If you commit to something, do it with passion and do it well

- Don't put things off. Could you do it now?

- Don't pigeonhole yourself. You're never too old to learn.

- Look at the world with the energy and enthusiasm of a five-year-old.

- Don't worry what people think of you. If you're authentic, people will like you. Those that don't aren't worth worrying about

- Don't chase women. Instead, show them who you are, and the right one will chase you.

- Life is short. Make each day count. Walk through the cemetery to remind yourself of this.

- Enjoy the rain, but take a brolly.

- Dress for the weather.

- Wear things you love - express yourself.

- Get your living space exactly as you want it.

- Enjoy free things. Get out in nature. See something green daily, and find some water to look at every week.

- Walk at least 10,000 steps each day

- Heal old arguments. Forgive those who have wronged you. Be the bigger person. Life is too short.

- Focus on what you can control. Fuck everything else.

- Don't smoke. If you can't stop, get a vape pen, so you don't die of cancer.

- List your ailments, go to the doctor, and get them sorted.

- Be the best possible version of yourself.

- Don't rely on anyone else. Hope for the best in everyone, but expect the worst. Then, you'll always be satisfied.

Try this for thirty days, and let me know how it goes.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness, a weighty task

For those who've wronged us in the past

But still we try, with hope in heart

To move beyond the pain and start

My parents, who split before my eyes

Left me with questions, without goodbyes

My father, distant, rarely near

A stranger to me, throughout the years

My children's mother, she took flight

Left me alone, in the dead of night

Accusations hurled, lies abound

My world shattered, my heart unbound

My family, they turned away

Disowned me, left me in dismay

And at school, just a young child

Pushed down, teased, left hurt inside.

My ex, who played a cruel game

Lied to me, with no sense of shame

In love with someone new, I learned

But falsely blamed, my fate was turned

The bullies who laughed at my legs

The one who smashed a bottle on my head

And those who broke my bones, so true

I forgive them all, what else can I do?

For in forgiveness, there is strength

It frees the soul, it takes the length

Of pain and anger, hurt and fear

And turns it into love, so clear

So I forgive, and I let go

Of all the pain, the hurt, the woe

For life is short, and time flies fast

And in forgiveness, we find peace at last.

20 Life Lessons for the Brave and Bold

For my children

20 Life Lessons for the Brave and Bold

From J.K. Rowling's pen, I bring to you,

Twenty lessons that will help to see you through.

Nobody cares, but don't you despair,

Embrace who you are, and show that you care.

The more you give, the more you'll receive,

So set your sights high, and always believe.

No act of kindness is ever too small,

For the ocean of life embraces us all.

No work is beneath you, that's for sure,

So get your hands dirty, and keep your heart pure.

Start meditating, find peace in your mind,

And your thoughts and your actions will be more aligned.

Don't be afraid to take risks, to be bold,

For the timid and shy will never grow old.

Don't make decisions when notions run high,

Take time to consider; let your emotions subside.

Be patient and persistent, keep your head high,

And your spirit will soar, like the birds in the sky.

You don't need to impress everyone you meet,

Just be true to yourself, and your goals will be sweet.

Listen to learn and your mind will grow,

With knowledge and wisdom that will surely flow.

Enrich your thoughts, don't let them remain,

Stagnant and still, like a train without a lane.

Don't take the easy road, it's not worth the cost,

For the path that is challenging is where you'll find the most.

Start reading books, they're a treasure trove,

Of knowledge and wisdom, that will help you to grow.

Respect others as you would respect yourself,

And your life will be filled with joy and with wealth.

Narrow down your focus bit by bit,

And your goals will be clear, you'll have a plan, you'll be fit.

You quit, you lose, you fail, that's a fact,

So put your best foot forward, and give it your best crack.

Don't bother what other people think or say,

Just be true to yourself, and your goals will not sway.

Learn something new every day, it's the key,

To a life that is filled with possibility.

Don't make assumptions, they can lead you astray,

Just open your eyes, and your mind will pave the way.

Believe in yourself, that's the final key,

To unlock the door to your destiny.

With these lessons in mind, you'll go far,

And shine like the moon and the brightest star.
