"By Choice"

 

Thoughts gather...

And so many moments collide together...

While the reasons as to why becomes the numerous questions asked...

Doubt has a way of sneaking in through the things unanswered

Even when the image is pretty and bright

Life is all about colours and shades

And black usually represents darkness...

Denial of this will not separate the cause and effect of our daily living

We give it the power

The representation

And the distinction...

Once something is seen, it is never forgotten

Causing us to pause...

We take notice

A marker in time is made

That our gut instinct is speaking to us, and it usually never tells lies

Those initial emotions exist for a reason

These feelings are valid

Do not dismiss your intuition...

Because asking for a sign, is one already given...

Do you realize the intention?

This voice is asking for your response

Understand the realization

That when things fail to align...

There tends to be one or many reasons...

Covering up the difference does not change the truth

We know the action forward

We just struggle deeply with the decision about to be taken

Because it has all been made clear...

That when you are only ever treated as an option...

You must leave the abandonment by choice.

"Breathe in Light"

 

Exhale deeply...

Realize the moment...

Today is that day...

When you have reached that point where you just have to let go

In most cases, this is the only way to grow into your healing

Everyone has something to teach us...

We just have to be humble enough to learn from it...

And remember that just because someone gave you something, does not mean you have to keep it

Release this heavy weight

Stop the drowning...

Deny entrance to the darkness repeatedly cast against you

Remind yourself of the bitter truth within reality...

That feelings never end easily

Especially when you continue to feed them with tainted memories

This day is not yesterday...

And tomorrow is not your entire future

It is merely one day within the existence of living

Don't let the unhappiness given make you settle for second best

Because pointed fingers in blame, tend to come from unclean hands...

Failure is not falling down...

It's not attempting to rise back up afterwards...

Inner peace begins when you stop allowing another to control your emotions

End the circle of spinning confusion

There is better after this...

Navigate the road ahead...

Read the compass pointing to change

Because another day comes regardless...

Scars are only the marker of when and where you were stronger than what tried to hurt you

Understand your position that is allowed to be taken

With your best foot forward, rise from the attempt in destruction

Embrace the power felt within the right of liberation

And breathe in the light.

"Value in Presence"

 

Life is choice...

Its everyday...

All the moments added together...

Divided and subtracted

Then multiplied together...

Change cannot be filled with excuses

Motivation cannot be manipulated

Your inner voice should not be one of silence

Just because you don't react, does not mean you haven't noticed

Unfortunately wars will be waged against you...

Reminding us that pain is meant for a reason

That battles bravely fought and won are steps taken towards victory...

The lesson within darkness is to remind us of the light

There is no self-development without self-awareness

You are the power within your action given

You are allowed your feelings and emotions

Speak to that which hurt you...

Note the damage done...

Hold accountability when and where it is needed

Define the correction asking to be made

If not, this will set the continued standard of disrespect taken...

Give time to understanding before moving forward

This is change by growth from the past of what use-to-be

Because what is said, and what is left unsaid is the difference

So be aware of the power and weight of words

Know your value in presence...

Who you are is not just what you inherit upon the path of life

It is what you choose to do with it...

And just maybe... its not the destination achieved...

It's happiness with peace embraced as you travel through existence.

"The Light We Carry"

Moment to moment...

Seasons move us forward...

Life is not a prewritten destination so easily achieved...

There are so many pages yet to be

Take a breath and realize...

The longest journey that may ever be taken, is from your mind to your heart

Leave the past behind...

Change is this motion forward now

Taking time with yourself does not mean you are lost

Different does not mean wrong

Question not your beauty within existence

Refuse the doubt asked...

Your worth is not anothers decision simply because they fail to see...

Its the distinction in perspective

Because how rapidly emotions and feelings grow

And how painfully slow they sometimes tend to chose to go...

We are only today...

A human being living within our best abilities taken

You can remember and you can choose to forget...

Allow the heavy release of weight with forgiveness

So you can embrace your recovery in healing

Especially when the balance of fairness is turned against us

When blind faith in believing has failed...

Offer yourself the apology for being wrong...

You are so much more than what hurt you

Pull away from that which holds you back in growth

Stand your ground...

Where you place your feet is sacred

A position within the power of reclamation

Even when shadows try to lurk

See the light carried inside you

And remember always...

That you are worthy.
