The Rough Diamond by John/Love/Friendship/Hidden Feelings/Loyalty/Inner Strength



The Rough Diamond

 

The true value and beauty

of the “rough diamond”

is often hidden

by gruff humor.

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

Understanding Life - The Onion by John/Self-Awareness/Wisdom/Inner Peace/Valued Experience


 Understanding Life - The Onion

 

Peeling away each layer

can lead to tears.

Yet the end dish

is seasoned and delicious.

The profoundest knowledge

Giving Meaning to Life by John/Feeling Connected/Positivity/Feel Good/Inner Knowing/Tenacity


 Giving Meaning to Life

 

To have meaning in life,

we must give meaning to life.

And this we do automatically,

by the positive actions we take!

The Dragon's Breath


 The Dragon’s Breath

 

The dragon’s breath,

cleanses and purifies,

with golden fire,

the unsuspecting soul,

who from the ashes,

emerges renewed.

Being Independent


 

Being Independent

 

My decisions are mine to make,

not for another less qualified to take.

Who knows my life better than me?

and I do aspire for self-improvement you see.

I may make an honest mistake from time to time,

and it will be MY mistake, I’ll own it because it’s mine!

It is only this way that I can grow by deciding who I am,

and I choose to be independent because I can.

 

John
