In life, relationships, and writing.
My dad told me,
If someone wants to do something, they will find a way to do it.
ie - No excuses!
So I will write my Sensational Haiku Wednesday this week and I will finish my 50,000 words for Camp Nano by Aug 31! And I will publish one of these days, too.
When negative vibes
creep in and discourage or
temptations distract,
Remember the goal,
the sweet reward that will come,
result of hard work
Commitment is pride,
dedication, conviction.
Going the distance.

Your dad was wise! If it's important to us, we find the time and the means.
This is SO true! Very few things in life are accomplished by just wanting and wishing for it. We MAKE it work.
Speaking of work, your word count shows that you are getting AWFULLY close to that 50,000 word goal! Keep it up :)
Love it! I can always use a good reminder/pick-me-up!
So beautifully done, Tara!
You ROCK this!
Mine is here
Have you an AWESOME WEEK!

Wise words from your dad! Good luck with finishing up Camp NaNo!

What you dad said is very true. And I like your haikus.
Good luck with Camp, you can do it.
(I should get pom-poms and start a cheering section)
Tara Tyler, you're posts are always so motivating!!!
You can do it - wishing you all the best in completing your goals :)
Your haikus are beautiful.
Commitment is pride,
dedication, conviction.
Going the distance.
My fave of the day.
Great words! Go you with camp nano!
Tis true ~ lovely haiku ~ very inspirational ~ (A Creative Harbor)
This is going on my wall. =)
Wonderful, Tara! Love this!
Very nice! Thanks for the inspiration, Tara:)
Your Dad is right. Commitment as pride - wow, somehow I forgot to think of it that way. That reinforces the concept. Love it!
Great haiku.
I used to recruit volunteer parents to help with school programs. My favorite line back then was: Those who want to help will find the time, those who don't will find the excuse. Sort of a variation on what your Dad said.
Your Dad is awesome! You can do it!!!
This is very timely for me. Thanks, Tara!
I found your blog from the GUTGAA event. I couldn't resist checking out a few blogs before the event started and following them as well.
This post inspired me big time. I really needed a boost like this, thank you!

Parents can actually be right, sometimes! I quote my mom in particular, and acknowledge her wisdom....your haiku went 'the distance'....truth
This is so true! I cannot tell you how much I can relate to this post.
