Self-Interest Is A Real Thing

Serene Solitude

Your inner being has your self-interest in
Mind at all times with no resistance. You can be
In alignment with that if you want to feel good.
Interest in yourself can be well understood
To be the main goal of spirituality.
At the game of life your spirit wants you to win.

Feeling good is the purpose. If you get cross ways
Of your own interests you become ornery,
Fearful, and disconnected from what you desire.
You want only good thoughts and feelings to transpire.
Things you have no interest in just let them be.
The relinquishing will help to brighten your days.

It has to be okay with you that all others
Have self-interest. It’s not you usually.
Everyone has their own bag of self-interests.
That you have the power and the freedom suggests
That you’re worthy of being who you’re meant to be.
Realize when the enlightened moment occurs.

When you no longer need others to act in ways
That you can’t make them in order for you to feel
Satisfaction is when you have complete control
Of your destiny. You can quit playing the role
Of the needy one. That’s not the kind of ordeal
To go through nor is it ever worthy of praise.

Moving On From The Past

Boring Moment

“With my past I’m unhappy. I deeply regret
Things that I’ve done to others. I’m disconnected
From my true self. The gap between me and what I
Mostly want keeps expanding. I cannot deny
That perhaps I deserve being disrespected.
I’m a fool to incur such emotional debt.”

Anytime you feel strong negative emotion
And it’s chronic it means that your thinking is wrong.
If you can learn your lessons and feel true remorse
You can get past it and get your life back on course.
Take your mind off of what you did. Sing a new song.
To your now moment you must give full devotion.

You can’t do much about the mess you left behind.
You just have to let it go and accept that you
Did it all then move on. Your point of attraction
Is enhanced. Don’t pay penance for what you have done
In the past. To the present your heart must be true.
Find the best feeling thoughts to recover your mind.

A new mindset is needed. You’re moving toward
Something better – not away from something not right.
What prevents you from experiencing wholeness
Is your focus on ‘what is.’ It causes you stress.
Pay attention only to what brings you delight.
Any thought contrary to it must be ignored.
