Premium Member Words of Encouragement

On life’s journey, there’s no need to 
hurry,
Be confident, strong and fearless 
when seeking your fill,
Be excited, for in truth, there's no 
need to worry,
While enjoying life’s thrills, keep active, 
and don’t lose your cool.

The road, be it long or short, rough
 or smooth, take one step at a time, 
be adventurous, search, explore 
and enjoy all with a friendly smile,
Life’s short and only lasts a while,
When challenges, rejections and
frustrations show their faces, remain
calm and composed,
Take a moment, count backwards,
breathe deeply and keep your eyes 
tightly closed.

Believe in yourself, and don’t let your 
efforts crumble to dust,
Remember your goals, persevere, 
stay focused and on course, as 
finishing is a must,
Hold on to words of encouragement
to see you through the chase,
You will  be tired, rugged and scarred
from the countless miles you’ve clocked 
up as you keep with the pace,

Be assured that lessons learnt and 
experiences gained means your 
dreams and aspirations are on the 
way to being fulfilled,
Determination and perseverance will 
take you to a new and brighter place,
Securing you, your very own 
Satisfaction Cup, as you would’ve 
taken part in a great race, a race 
called living my best Life.


Reminder To Myself

Start by getting up

Then getting dressed 

Then leave the house and figure it out from there

A good morning ritual can awaken a dying spirit

Life is what you see through your own eyes, so grab that positive persona from the closet 

And put on your reflection instead of that gloomy frown

Easier said than done

But just take one step at a time and you’ll be progressing farther than where you begun

You probably heard that one before, so what makes this any different

Well the difference is you and how you feel

So, the next time you feel down remember one step forward is just as easy as tomorrow but as hard as yesterday

So, you’re better off focusing on today, and today say “I am who I am, no more no less, I will be who I want to be one day

And until that day comes I will keep back packing knowledge and lessons for my personal journey”

Your story may not be the best but no one has one like it, so before you give up remember the sun is there even if you can’t see it

There will always be a bright side 

Even when the shadows are all you can see

p.s. remember to say to yourself just be myself…just be me…

Lost

My journey is not long but my dream is
I search for the fastest way to reach my destination
But time tells me, “Take one step at a time”
I heed this advice
With patience as  food of choice
Trust my drink to quench my thirst
I take a deep breath and struggle to look ahead
All I see is the same old things my eyes are used to seeing
Color, trees and the African savanna surrounds my day thinking
Social media confuses me with false testimonies from life failures
They think they made by their own knowledge yet it’s God’s intervention
They praise their wealth in place of God
They worship money instead the one who deserves it and  lives forever
My God stand and see my evil heart even as I write his poem
It’s not perfect but at least it has little faith in you
Money I asked in a dream, you did provide me with it
Imperial status  I saw my phone calling me to it
When will that happen my God?
I write this as I am sited in this barbarian chair
Idol worship is well known in this country
Yet for the sake of the few  believers; you have spared us
Joy and peace through faith,
Trust and love be mine from God
Through forgiveness of my sins

Wondering In the Woods

Wonder into the woods with ax in hand
Take care to be on time when you arrive

The forest is dark. It slumbers.  Don't be alarmed 
Bring an umbrella in case it rains

Rotted fallen lumber is benign.  It does not harm 
Never chop the big trees down at dawn

Take a canteen to a source of water
A polluted river will do just fine
With tiny creatures like parasites residing
They won't care.  They need you. They want you there 

Cause evocative events to occur
Tell untold stories 
Let them evolve like mushrooms in the forest dark
Don't speak.  The trees are listening

Capture ideas then let them go
Over canopies, mysteries and paranoia

Take one step at a time in cadence with the katydid
Noise is the awakening...WARNING: Don't walk with katydids

Crawl under rocks to sleep, to calm your nerves
They have no where else to go.  They fizzle out   

Go forward at first light, not in circles though
Straight is better, I guess, when looking for success

Ponder strategies to defeat the foe
It has eleven fingers and no soul
Poison claws and jagged teeth, there to meet you

Storm the monster with your hands and feet
Surprise it with some candy treats

Bite off its ear as a distraction
Run faster for a chance to leave disaster

Estimate your chances for survival
Calculus is great to plot escape
Always use a protractor when confused
To measure the obtuse

Don't make mistakes.  Don't rain.  That's for nature
Don't go insane.  Leave the forest the same way that you came

Focus Inside of You

“FOCUS INSIDE OF YOU"
(by Michelle L. LeBlanc 04/08/2025)


Not everyone is meant for you
It's ok. Breathe in. Let go
What is meant to be, will be
So just let it be so 

Some are meant to be in our lives
Some maybe not 
Don't get caught up in pleasing others 
It will cause your thoughts to clot

Embrace those who love you 
Those who accept you as you are
With all of your craziness
And with all of your scars 

When people don't see your heart
It's not that they don't care 
Sometimes they just have too many burdens
That they're finding hard to bear 

And for the ones who leave you
Maybe they were never meant to be 
So let them go anyways
There's more for you to see! 

Did you know that you're beautiful?
So let that little light shine! 
Don't worry about the future
Nor about what's left behind

Loving yourself is where it begins
Letting go of all the rest
You don't need their acceptance
Or to be perfectly at your best 

Our imperfections are lovely
Mixed in with a sense of faith
Knowing that everything works together
As our fears are being erased 

So grab on to faith 
Believe that things can change!
It all starts within our minds 
That's the first place to rearrange

As we change our inner state
Our feelings will begin to shift
Learning to use visualization 
Our doubts will begin to drift!

Take one step at a time
That's where it all begins
Not dwelling on yesterday
That's how change seeps in 

Reprogram! Refocus! Rewire! 
You got this, baby, you do!
Don't focus on everyone else
Focus in, on the Inside of You!!
