Good hard work

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

Hard work makes me feel good due to the sense of accomplishment, increased confidence, physical and mental benefits (such as the release of endorphins), alignment with personal goals and values, opportunities for learning and growth, and the potential for social recognition. However, it’s crucial to balance hard work with rest and self-care to avoid burnout and maintain overall well-being. Liam

Poem: Human

by Liam

In an endless quest, I’ve sought the way,

To find my purpose each dawning day.

Inquiring why, I yearn so much,

For love within life’s tender touch.

Each and every soul is a gem to see,

Each and everyone a mystery.

Yet it’s in their eyes, we find the spark,

Which binds us as one against the dark.

We live, we laugh, we weep, we cry,

Yet onward, we embrace the art,

Of starting afresh with tomorrow’s grace,

In this human yet eternal race.

Integrity

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

When asked what it means, this came to mind.

Integrity is the quality of being honest, principled, and having strong moral character. It involves consistency in actions, values, methods, measures, and principles. A person with integrity adheres to their ethical beliefs even when faced with temptations or challenges. Integrity is often associated with traits like truthfulness, trustworthiness, and a sense of honor.

It’s the quality that ensures one’s words and deeds align with their core values, promoting trust and respect in both personal and professional relationships.

Essentially, integrity is a steadfast commitment to doing what is right, regardless of the circumstances or potential personal gain. Liam

Three Jobs

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Most of us, through our genes and family circumstances bring individual and intrinsic qualities with us into life. With a bit of luck, through childhood, adolescence and young adulthood , these qualities crystallize out and can be recognized as Personal qualities and aspect of our genius. These areas of genius, are as manifold as human life itself.

When our work finds its expression through this talent or genius, we can, and mostly are happy, balanced, and inflow with life.

Personally I wasn’t one of the lucky ones, it’s taken half a lifetime to discover that in writing, creative writing and poetry my intrinsic genius lies. Liam

Find more Love

What could you do more of?

Find More Love
by Liam

I’ve looked for Love since the beginning,
These pieces, each a part of the find,
Found in a puzzle called living,
Lost to my memory and mind.

Hidden for all to discover,
Written for all to read,
Spoken for all to listen,
Is pain that I sometimes bleed.

Cast off my dark cloak of fire,
I’ll ride through the darkness of doubts,
Burn too, I’ll with your desire,
Upon clouds, my soul screams and shouts.

My eyes,
My words,
My hearing,
Understanding stands too in my way.

For alone it’s love which is waiting,
On a rainbow to meet me today.
