Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be
Thinking of what life was then
Looking back at where I’ve been
Mulling over where I was when
Hides the future from me
Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be
Triolet
Floating
But going nowhere
On my river of dreams
It’s only by paddling I move
Forward

Satisfied in my
Comfort Zone
A risk free area

So many of us are stuck in our Comfort Zones. We settle for a life that’s ” good enough” but not really ideal. We want to break free, take risks, pursue opportunities, try new things, but it’s hard to find a way out because we are comfortable where we are and there’s not really a need to change.
Perhaps reading this article “10 Ways To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone” may give you some ideas that will help you find a way.
“Don’t sweat the small things”
When life tries to weary you
Keep up and keep on.
Senryu
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5
What can I say,
About this day?
If my wish were a horse,
I’d have used force,
And just galloped away,
Have my way, and not stay.
But determination won,
And I didn’t run!
This day was not fun,
But now it’s done.
I didn’t give up!
I drank of its bitter cup,
And I came thru,
Battered ‘tis true,
A bit worse for the wear,
But I don’t care!
I didn’t taste defeat,
And Victory’s so sweet!
Rhyme
Are you climbing higher?
What is your motivation?
Your Dreams or your Fears?
Senryu
Don’t just dream
You must keep climbing
Moving up
Non-stopping
Overcoming obstacles
To reach the summit
