Mythos & Marginalia

life notes between the lines and along the edges


open space

  • as you wander

    Gather your thoughts,
    be calm
    through the day.
    Find balance
    and confidence
    as you wander
    your own way.
    Be curious
    and open-minded,
    for the wonders
    will never cease.
    Let go
    of all your worries,
    and
    pick up the peace.

  • awareness

    Your thoughts influence your actions.Your perspective allows you to see, or feel, and act in your own way.

    We are all unique that way; we all wonder.

    Still, you keep your thoughts to yourself.

    What were you thinking?

    The mind wanders.

       It is all too easy to let your attention shift to something else. It happens naturally, without notice.

       Inspiration and ideas form unexpectedly, and your interest easily shifts away from what you are doing to what you think you can do.

       Focus.

       Discipline over disruption: a concept that will lead to completion.

       Save another idea for another day, perhaps even try it another way. But today, follow your original intentions.

       Wait: finish what you started. There are already too many things in life that are incomplete.

  • persistence

    Patience takes time, practice takes effort.

       I need to remind myself.

       I tend to rush.

       Persistence takes thought.

       Perfection is quite probably unobtainable, and the search for such has consequences. Better to strive for the best you can do, at the time, and appreciate gradual progress as you further yourself with study, effort, and diligence.

       Any talent must be nurtured.

       Move slowly. 

       Be humble in your personal efforts and celebrate small achievements.

       You will surprise yourself in time.
