"Purpose in Choice"

 

Whatever happens tomorrow...

You still have today...

Never take the light for granted

Because darkness is always there lurking, at the ready to seep in when your guard is down

It's astounding that such an eagerness can exist within this world

That some beings wish to destroy you....

And then find your survival offensive

But understand this...

There is not one drop of your self worth that depends on what other people think or say

Actions always speak loudly, but silence is absolute...

It tends to be associated with the colour black

A defined meaning, strong and with great depth

It does nothing, yet seems to explain everything

And no one ever tells you that bravery feels like fear

Making you acknowledge the fact, just because you carry it well, does not mean it is not heavy

You are simply doing the best that you can in a time unknown

Do not condemn yourself to your struggles

Forgiveness of oneself comes when you move forward

Never believe the voices in your head

They only come from the words of others, ones in which you should forget...

Understand the meaning in choice...

Step back, step away, or release it...

Surrendering is not admitting defeat

Believe in the power...

Just like your heart beating, there is justification in choice

Find the being within...

Live it with purpose...

Make this the beginning of always

Because in a world obsessed by the climb to greatness

Be and allow gratitude...

For it is the pause within a moment...

Take the well deserved breath and exhale...

So you can appreciate the view.

"Believe Them"

 

With trial and error...

We come to know the difference...

That lingering thoughts hold too many moments...

And when things do not add up within a situation, we must subtract ourselves

We don't owe anyone a version of ourselves that keeps them comfortable, and leaves us exhausted

Our current or past struggles are not our identity

We are not too sensitive or overreacting

If it hurts us, then it hurts...

You are the author of you

No one knows our entire story...

Yet, some claim to know us completely, just by some words or a few actions

They only believe the parts that keep them right and what helps them sleep at night

Because if they would understand the truth, then they would have to change something within themselves

It's easier for them to think something wrong, than to make the effort to stand up for another being

And our intuition tends to know...

Once questions begin to be asked, answers will always be sought

Reality bears truth...

Making this another very hard lesson learned within our life

That when people treat you like they don't care...

We unfortunately have to believe them...

Resort priorities when and as needed

Stop giving people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth

Because the worst part of self-betrayal, is always putting somebody's feelings before your boundaries

And despite the thought process, most people need acceptance more, before condemning advice

Change will happen when chosen

Allow the release...

Fight to keep the wounds healed

Clear the unsolved and all that use-to-be

You've made the hard choices...

You've done the work...

Now protect what you have created.

"Always Yours"

 

First it hurts...

Then you realize and understand...

And that is when it changes you...

Regardless of thought within any given moment

You have the power always...

This is all part of the greater story, not the end coming to claim you

Life is already hard with all of its in between moments

This is why you need to remove your presence from those who tend to make things worse

Making your choices into motions according to other's actions

Never judge a person on how they handle pain that you have never felt

You can live with scars, but not open wounds...

You must validate the hurt...

Your growth owes no one an explanation

Refuse to be disrespected by those who label you difficult

Simply because you stand up for your right to not be mistreated

Their inadequacies are not a direct reflection of you

Opinions of others does not equal your self-worth

Because tolerance can be a very thin line often ignored...

You may stand up for yourself in every way

Be the bigger person that you need to be

But that does not give unlimited permission to receive any type of abuse

Understand the sad reality...

That not everyone will be happy for you...

Because your change will only trigger and remind them of the things that they refuse to change

Speak your life with existence

Be your truth...

We all thrive when seen

And remember, forgiveness is usually more for you than them

It never requires reconnection after disconnection

Make your decision...

Be kind, be cruel, or be silent...

The choice is always yours.

"End of Every Choice"

 

Moments pause...

It all begins and ends within your mind...

What ever you give power to, has power over you...

This is why we should never confuse what we are offered, for what we are worth

The senses speak out...

Listen...

If it causes you to second guess yourself repeatedly, step back

Making that a legitimate reason to separate yourself from a person, place or thing

Stay only where your presence matters

Release those who wish to leave you when they want to go

Let it hurt...

Then allow allow the first steps of healing from it begin...

Remind yourself that you can let go of people who are okay with losing you

Because if they steal more energy than they give...

Step back, conserve your power, and spend your energy elsewhere

Let go of the blame...

Have courage in the peace found beyond them

Come to know the facts within change

You have now outgrown the version of you that tolerated too much

Never apologize for not allowing chaos entry into your life

Especially when you offered more, and they gave you less...

Trusting another is always our decision...

And them proving us wrong, is their choice...

As hard as it may be, we need to see things as they are...

And not as we wish them to be...

Which always brings us to the end of every story told

On a day when you realize that turning the page from this one to the next, is the best thing ever done

Because there is so much offered in life than the chapter you have been stuck upon.

"In Ways Unseen"

 

There is a simple truth...

We will never have this day again...

Each minute passed teaches us the value of a moment...

It makes you realize one single importance

That nobody should have the power over you...

And once you recognize this shift, change in ownership is needed

This right will always belong to you

Repeat those words to yourself as frequently as required...

You are allowed to do what is best for you, even if it upsets people

Courage is knowing it might hurt, but doing it anyways

And bravery is that courage in action...

How many more situations can you afford, when all they do is bring out the worst in you?

Stop giving the healed version of you to those who have continually dismissed just how much they've hurt you...

They have now lost the right to have access to you, because they have chosen to abuse it

Honour the distance and choice within change...

As hard as it may be, take clarity when no explanation is offered

Especially when it seems that they are so committed to misunderstanding you

This version of you now has less tolerance for the things that you use to accept

You never owe anyone your destruction or ruin...

Refuse chaos from stealing your inner peace

Respond accordingly...

You have reached a point of no return...

You may not be exactly where you want to be

But you know for certain that you are doing better than before

And advancing in so many ways unseen...

Be proud of your growth

Value the math learned...

Calculate the future cost of now...

As you remember why you changed.

"Time for New"

 

Fact...

Nothing last forever...

And this is the best and worst thing we can ever know...

Because at the end of it all, we may not know it all...

But we come to learn some things for certain

Like when the flow of energy changes

When it shifts and becomes strange...

It's an over generalization, but there is truth contained within it

We all stare into the mirror from time to time

What has changed?

The image or what is reflected within the person doing the looking?

We all tend to see the features we all have and not realizing all that is contained within the being

It's your presence carried that matters...

All the battles fought and won...

Nothing of that is usually ever shown upon your skin

You are always more than just a reflection...

There is a wonderful complexity never usually seen

And a capability that only has limits in which we place upon ourselves

This is why what broke you, can never heal you...

Remember that...

You had a purpose before someone had an opinion about it

You are reason enough to thrive...

Never allow those who don't care for you to manipulate your heart, mind and feelings

Let no other being control how you think about yourself

Deny them the power...

Accept people as they are, and place them where they belong

Brave is the decision to move forward...

The best time for a new beginning is now

Take a breath, centering yourself here in this moment

Have the hope in courage to allow the change

Because the fears we do not face, become the limitations holding us back.

"Powerful Enough"

 

We are all based upon a true story...

So be selective with the characters and narrative told....

Learn who to “know” and who to say “no' to...

Is what you are holding onto worth all the space it's taking up?

Everything has a beginning and an end

And one day you have to draw the line under it all

Addition...

Subtraction...

Or division...

If words and actions never seem to add up, then the truth is not included within the equation

Remember always, the way you speak to yourself matters

Accept the true colours seen...

Refuse to romanticize the hurt...

Repeated mistakes are not accidents...

That behavior is chosen...

Amongst all the hardship it takes a strong being to rebound from the warfare of the mind

There must be allowance for learning...

Give yourself grace to make mistakes and live beyond those choices

Release the harsh and pointed inner voice

Be willing to grow...

Like the seasons we change...

Allow the hurt, it needs to be acknowledged and heard

Plant seeds of happiness where sadness once tried to live

Shine light in spite of darkness

Peace is worth the journey

You are powerful enough to heal...

Your scars can be someone else's sign of hope

You are brave enough to rebuild after breaking

You deserve to be the one who saves you...

Because you are always worth the effort.
