This is one I wrote as a sort of advice to myself a few years ago and it still hangs on my studio wall for when I need a little inspiration

Thought For Life

Eat from the crop but don’t feed on it
Leave the rest in the field, don’t try to carry it

If a door isn’t open don’t look inside
Travel the ocean but go with the tide

Trust in your instincts and follow their path
Learn from your sadness but enjoy your laugh

Strive for perfection but admit to your flaws
Thrive on affection but beware of it’s claws

Let your soul be the driver when you take to the road
Let the strength from within help in  bearing the load

Balance your feelings, the wrong and the right
As light is the daytime and dark is the night

Express your emotions, don’t keep them subdued
Think of disposal not only the food

Listen to others but decide for yourself
Don’t put in your pocket what belongs on the shelf

Believe in your person, you may find it’s true
That the hero you worship is actually ‘you’
