Stop.Pause.Rewind.Play

A wise man once told me "The difference between a ditch digger and a doctor is the way they think"

"What the mind can concieve, it can achieve"--James Allen, As a man thinketh.

"Belief eliminates all doubts and magnifies the purpose"--Bernice Angoh

Dare to believe, dare to dream...





Poem Artwork

"Success is putting your dreams and prayers into action, with no excuses and no room for quitting"--Bernice Angoh

 

In the video game of life
there's a stop button
unlike every other, it is a gracious one
begging you to stop once in a while
and recheck your bearings

While you pause, refresh and rejuvinate
with a cool drink of reflection. Catch your breath,
 drop it into some ice and crystalize your thoughts
Pause, but don't pause forever
that's just another twisted definition of quitting

You can... choose to rewind
rewind your thoughts and perspectives
have a change of heart, choose to be a winner
choose to change your thought process


(Oh, the wonderful gift of choice!)


maybe reajust your belief system
rearrange them in such a way that
when you begin to play, you not only play
hard but smart...

...that my friend is the uncomplicated fomula of success
Stop.Pause.Rewind.Play

I like the way it plays out in our everyday lives. It eliminates the Ideal and fantasies of life and deals with reality. Love it.

Bernice, you will encounter that a few people instead of using the Rewind, choose to take the tape out and throw it away, because their lives aren't worth to be seen twice.
