Mastering The Art Of Success

Irene Martina

How can I find time to play

when I don’t even have time to blink?

I lost my power and “found” it

when I took some time to think.

I s eem to have no time to read,

ev en knowing how wise that would be.

Reading brings a fountain of wisdom

when I take this time for me.

I always take time to work real hard,

for I was taught this brought success.

Alas, this may be the case,

but, oh, the cost of such great stress!

If I could give the world a gift,

it would be laughter and time to play;

And I hope you will make it a habit,

every single privileged day:

Take time to give, t ake time to laugh

and lots of time to share; Relea se

the stress and never wait to tell

others how much you care. Your

soul needs magic every day, so

never let it have regrets. Think,

Love, Laugh, and P lay;

and may this poem you never forget!

I hope you will create a notebook of your ideas and insights. Perhaps

you may want to make some as poems as I did above. It is great to go

back and read your thoughts and ideas, months or even years later. You

never know what your brilliance, creativity, and insights might develop

into.
