Stand Steadfast

Though the winds of life may billow hard

And hurricane force winds appear fierce,

Determined to deter you from your course.

Take a moment or moments needed to conjure

From within the depths of the tenacity of  thy spirit

The strength required to face the adversity and

To renew your resilience and stand steadfast.

Though it may be difficult, you have that which is

Within you to emerge, not conquered, but stronger.

Change Confronted

Change is the steady pulse of human existence

For without  a doubt, it interjects itself

Unfailing into the course and scheme of life

Thus with the armour of this knowledge, be prepared

To confront the aspect of change should it appear

Even if its essence would take more time to conquer.

Be of good courage.

Benjoy X-9

Onward March

Do not dwell on the past

If peradventure it lies

Tinged with the aftermath

Of heavy tribulation.

Rather, look steadily ahead to

The promise of the future.

For such past, remains unchanged

And within the confines of the bygone.

Yet, the future portends possibilities.

Thus, focus on the rainbows of your life

Not on the clouds in the fading distance.

Nay, expand your horizons, and aspire

Towards all potential amid the future.

 Look forward!

Benjoy’s Corner X-6

Failed Agenda

What is defeat, but another challenge,

Encountered along the way, which may

Inherently seek to derail and project lingering

Emotions of dejection and hopelessness.

Why give it the opportunity, to execute

Its untoward agenda and pervade the

Remaining course with that abject resignation

When assuredly, it can be limited in essence.

Nay, squarely determine to reverse the tide

By employing inward resilience and valor

In favor of transcending the circumstances, and

Certainly defeating that which seeks to defeat.

Don’t be discouraged!

Benjoy’s Corner x-4

Hidden Virtue

Although, natural inclination is to somewhat

Ponder on such occurrences for extended time…

Dwell not, on the shortcomings of the past,

Rather, let them instruct you for the future

Particularly towards new strategies and beginnings.

For what good is it to stagnate in irreversible tides,

When otherwise challenging circumstances, inherently,

May expand discernment to alternative options, and

Pave the pathway to brighter and greater horizons.

Stride forward not backward

Benjoy’s Corner 9 (Opportunity’s Gift)

 

 

An opportunity of a lifetime …

Is only the opportunity of the lifetime

If it is identified and recognized  as such,

Embraced and diligently pursued, and

Extracted of the fullest potential it heralds

To one’s benefit and best advantage.

Benjoy’s Corner 8 (Precious Time)

Failure to utilize time in advancement of life

Particularly one’s life, is an absolute tragedy

Of measurable and immeasurable dimensions.
