"Daily Practice"

 

Each day is a practice...

A choice...

Another decision made...

Breathing in and through all the moments

It's the compass within us pointing

Directing our feet in forward motion

Experiences make us wiser

Scars tell our stories

Effort is the worth given

To attempt to do our best daily...

By remembering the difference within our mindset

Like how easily we believe in our doubts rather than our abilities

If anything can matter, than everything can matter

And maybe, you are not lost...

Maybe you are just not currently where you want to be in life

Because there is two meanings to hope...

Have only positive expectations...

And hold on pain ends...

A few small cracks within you does not mean that you are broken

It just means that you were put to the test and you did not break

You are much stronger than the burdens put upon your shoulders

There is always the balance between the give and take

And oddly enough a choice in pain...

The one of regret or the one of discipline...

Forgive yourself...

For every time you gave someone the power to make you feel worthless, empty or afraid

You are nothing less than who you are

You are human...

And we do forget just what we are capable of

Remember always...

Promise yourself to never forget again.

"Already Been Made"

 

Life...

It is meant to be lived through experience...

Not endlessly questioned...

Be very careful what you put into your head

Because when fear chases us, we tend to believe the most unbelievable

We are teachable...

Learn that there is more to life

Never take the blame on how another mistreated you

Shame only becomes the lie that someone told you about yourself

People are not born angry or sad...

They are made that way...

Good things can fall apart

So better things can fall together

Heal your being...

So you can hear life truly

And not have to filter it through your past wounds

Deny access to that which has already hurt you

The mark and impression has already been made

Choices and chances are always given

How many do-overs do you grant to those who never change?

Because when all you do is forgive them...

You do so until you unlove them and no longer care...

Release the resentment

Only hold onto the very hard lesson learned

Yesterday is not a direction that should be taken

The past is only there to provide contrast

If you can see the darkness, then you can see the light

Open your eyes...

Take notice...

Speak to yourself with care

And be present...

"You Have Choices"

 

Truth...

We all have a sad story within us...

One we are never willing to share...

It usually gives us two options...

Let it be an excuse to fall behind or let it inspire our motivation

If you look for ways to fault yourself

Sadly, the way the mind works, we will either find them or make them

You cannot control how other's receive your energy

Anything and everything will always get filtered through their lens of perspective

Based all upon what has or is happening within their life

So remember...

Time is currency, we only get to spend it once

You cannot find yourself by using someone else's directions or map

Our footsteps forward are ours to own

There is a voice whispering within, don't ignore it

Or it will begin to try and get your attention in other ways...

Don't waste your words on those who deserve silence

Unfortunately, they are not listening anyways...

Making the most powerful thing said, is noting at all

Decisions made now come from knowledge, not judgment

Remember that truth reveals motive and intention

Manipulation can wear the face of compassion...

So remind yourself to have kindness for you

It's okay to slip-up, relapse, to make mistakes and fall down

Know that there is always ways to get back up upon your feet again

Power comes from how you rise...

Recreate yourself...

You have choices...

Think new thoughts...

Learn something new...

All you need to decide in this moment, is to never look back

Because today's accomplishments...

Were only yesterdays impossibilities.

"Never Be Known"

The mind can fail...

And forget...

At just how fast time can pass us by...

Depending on your choice of faith and belief

It can make your perception with the saying, “everything happens for a reason” different

Of course no one thinks that awful things were suppose to happen

But there has to be some sort of understanding taken from the root of it all

That some part of what has transpired within our life happened to teach us

Maybe to shape us and help us grow from beyond where we currently stand

To show us our strengths, not to just merely test our limits

Yes, we will hurt, there is no avoiding that...

Especially after letting something go...

Whether by choice or by force...

That feeling is genuine, acknowledge it...

No one likes endings

And no one likes holding onto pain

The sad part of reality is, nothing lasts forever...

Not every being who enters your life is meant to stay...

Subtle or harsh, things do happen for whatever reason they may be

And some answers may never be known to us

Which is why we need to let go of the fights that another being wishes to never be resolved

Hold true to you, releasing that which poisons you

Distorted opinions are not your problems to bear

Never apologize for stepping back from the chaos to restore and recharge your being

Self-care is not selfish...

It's a requirement of personal growth

Effort, attitude and your response to it all...

Are the three things you can control within your life

But it also makes saying goodbye one of the bravest, yet hardest words spoken.
