Today Is Yours

The odd thing about time is that it comes and goes.
Tomorrow makes today a distant memory
And as quickly as you got here you will be gone
So today is the day that you must look upon
As one filled with positive opportunity.
As your spirit seeks joy your happy heart follows.

You’ve the ability to create history –
A story that will live with you forever more.
Think back to all the days leading up to today.
All the pain and hard work and the utter dismay
Are the armor that you now wear. Never before
Has this moment occurred and it was meant to be.

Bless those long hours of training and preparation.
Turn them into the very best version of you.
It’s about being better than you ever dreamed
You could be. Until now all your effort had seemed
Unfulfilling but now everything that you do
Is a part of your magnificent creation.

Gone are the insecurities, doubts, and sorrows.
Disbelief in yourself has gone by the wayside.
And unstoppable force you are. Nothing can stand
In your way since you decided to take command
Of your life. The spirit within you is your guide
To a wonderful day and blessed tomorrows.

Free Yourself From Negativity

Sep28

No thought lives in your head rent free and your thoughts cost
Way more than you may realize in the moment.
Thoughts of bitterness, revenge, and resentment are
Perhaps the most expensive because they are far
From delightful. They are of extreme discontent.
To your negative emotions you’ve become lost.

Every time you think of that person who wronged you
That person has hijacked your mind. Your happiness
And your time have been stolen and you are the one
Allowing it to happen. The harm that is done
To the psyche is serious. You may obsess
About giving the son of a gun what is due.

You can choose to occupy your mind with thoughts of
Bitterness or of thoughts that will empower you.
Hatred is like drinking poison and expecting
The other person to die. It’s not affecting
Anyone but yourself. The best thing you can do
Is forgive and grow. This is the pathway to love.

Don’t forgive to make someone else feel better or
Because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do. Do it to free
Yourself from your self-torment. Make room in your mind
For all things that add value to your life. You’ll find
That you can get on with you life and happily.
Keep your real estate open to things you adore.

This Day Is Yours

Aug16

Congratulations! This is your day to let go
Of the past and the future and contemplate on
What right now has to offer. It’s such a fine day
For relaxing and letting the stress fade away
That’s built up over time. You can let it be gone.
You have much control over how this day will flow.

Review your expectations without memories
Of things that didn’t happen the way you preferred.
You will only bring them over into today.
Instead let inspiration guide you on your way
To wherever your heightened consciousness is stirred
To more clarity. This day you can take with ease.

Though you may or you may not be able to tell
How your expectations do materialize
You ought to take life easy and go with the flow
Of the provident universe. It wants to show
How much it can fulfill you so it is most wise
To line up with its purpose then you will do well.

It’s not anyone else’s. This day is for you
To do with as you wish. You may find true meaning
In your moments of solitude. You may become
An enlightened one. All of your power comes from
Your awareness of now. Forces are convening
For your welfare. There’s nothing much you need to do.

About Happiness

Aug7

A professor one evening had a meeting for
Some of his former students to see how they were
Doing out in the real world. He wanted to see
How much they had succeeded at being happy.
Are they all living the life that they would prefer?
All about their lives now he wanted to know more.

They each told him their stories. “I’m not doing well.
I can’t get that promotion. The harder I try
To achieve what I’m after, the more I’m let down.
I get through my days typically with a frown.
Sometimes while I’m at work I could break down and cry.”
Not a single one had a good story to tell.

So the professor said, “You all seem to be stressed.”
He provided them coffee and several cups
To choose from. Some were plain and some were elegant.
What he said to them next was very important.
Knowing that stress has to do with mental hangups,
It was a bit of wisdom he clearly expressed.

“You all picked the nice looking cups leaving behind
The plain looking ones, but the cup gives no value
To the coffee it’s holding. You want the coffee –
Not the cup. If you want to be truly happy
Care about what’s of value. The more that you do
Then the more success and happiness you will find.”

Today Is Yours

May28

The weird thing about time is that it comes and goes.
Tomorrow will make today just a memory.
Many months go by. They seem like weeks, and the days
Are like hours. Life’s velocity heavily weighs
On your conscience. You may miss out on the beauty
Of the moment with worry about how time flows.

You have the ability to write history –
To create a new story that will live with you
Forever. Think back to all the days leading up
To today. It is okay to drink from the cup
Of past blessings and all the dreams that have come true
And be thankful that you made it all come to be.

All the training and hours spent in preparation
For this moment are like a positive force field
Of protection. It’s good to feel safe and secure
You have done everything that you need to ensure
Your wellbeing. What you need to do is revealed
To you by the divine source of all creation.

Let the universe tell you that life is just fine
Now that you have discovered your place in the sun.
The world may have told you that you are not worthy
Of becoming the person that you want to be,
But let that be your reason to let everyone
Know that you are worthy because you are divine.

Free From Negativity

May24

It’s been said that no thought lives in your head rent free
And your thoughts cost you more than you may realize
In the moment. Thoughts of bitterness, resentment,
And revenge are the most costly to the extent
That they hijack your happiness. Your spirit dies
As you justify your feelings vehemently.

Every time you think about that person who wronged
You, that person steals your consciousness. Like your home,
Your mind only has room for so many thoughts, so
It is best that you take the high road and let go
Of the issue, lest you be caught in a syndrome
Of abject desperation that may be prolonged.

Don’t forgive to make someone else feel better or
Because it’s the right thing to do. Forgive for you.
Release your attachment to negativity
To make room for the thoughts that are absolutely
Beneficial. They are of tremendous value.
There will be many new horizons to explore.

When someone mistreats you, in the moment it feels
Like it’s all about you, but more often than not,
It’s about something over which you’ve no control.
Own whatever you can. Forgiveness makes one whole.
You can find relief from misery on the spot.
Take advantage of the only method that heals.

What Did You Forget?

Sep19

You can bug people beautifully by asking,
“What Did You Forget?” They may suspect that they must
Remember something important. They may not be
Receptive to considering it carefully.
To a new way of thinking one could well adjust.
Be a part of a wholesome reawakening.

What’s the most obvious thing one must remember
In each waking moment? What’s the most forgotten
Truth that causes confusion within the psyche?
Who on earth can answer these questions correctly?
There is no disadvantage in knowing not when
Someone will leave in your soul a glowing ember.

Someone says that he’s Tim Jones, another, Joe Blow.
These are lies that are fed to us when we are young.
Remember back before you were programmed to be
A person and a product of society.
Now into a world of illusion you are flung.
Be more receptive to what you already know.

Simply the fabric and structure of existence
Itself you are. There is a big conspiracy
To ignore who you really are deep down inside.
The false ego must be constantly gratified
By the faulty structures that allow it to be.
We become exhausted living under pretense.
