Which one of these four lines would motivate you more:
You should do it
You could do it
You can do it
You will do it
The appropriate selection may be obvious to some and not so much for others. These types of exercises reveal so much, and they’re great conversation starters as well. Some people will be interested in knowing why others chose as they did.
The Art of Writing
How we use words will determine if our message is well received or received with little regard. Writing is an art. So, we should go about creating every offering with a masterpiece mindset. Whatever our intention is there should be no room for misconception. Write what you mean, and mean what you write.

War Of Words
On the battlefield in my mind,
Countless words stand on the front line.
Willing to die, but eager to live,
And they all pray I have a little attention to give.
So, as I begin to think, my concentration,
Activates the process of elimination,
Because my conversation,
Has to exceed the receiver’s expectation.
Casualties of war,
Are not less but more,
Because logic and reason are always like what for.
Each paragraph,
Is birthed from a bloodbath,
And excellence is the aftermath.
I catch the scenes as they unfold,
The greatest stories never told,
And then like a boomerang I let them fly, and they come back literary gold.
Now it’s time to repeat the process,
And I must confess,
I’ll never digress.
Because how could it ever end,
When every word wants to win,
Eager to contend,
Every foe could never be a friend,
Who, what, where, why, and when.
And every other word in between,
Dream,
Of being seen.
In the light,
So they fight,
With all their might,
Praying to appear in one of the lines I write.
Battered and bruised,
Dazed and confused,
But so thankful I chose them to be used.
You are a light of the Light. So, never dim your shine for anyone or anything.-Henery X
