Don’t Take Things Personally

Aug11

Sulking

You are never responsible for the actions
Of others. You are only responsible for
How you act so don’t take things so personally.
If you do, in your soul you will never be free
Of the negative mind chatter. You won’t ignore
Your fallacious assumptions and fierce abstractions.

Don’t take anything personally. I live my
Life. I don’t live your life. If you put your life on
Me I don’t have to take it. It’s not about me.
I can simply let go of the sick energy
Put upon me. All negative drama begone.
I just want to stay centered. With that I’ll comply.

No matter what is happening outside of you
It has nothing to do with you. The perception
That your world has of you doesn’t matter. Only
What you think of yourself matters ultimately.
Everything is about who makes the assumption
About you and it doesn’t mean that it is true.

You are the main character in your own story.
We each have our own story. When people mistreat
Others it usually is out of boredom
But it’s all their own creation. They’re coming from
A dark place in their story. Your life can be sweet
When you take things as they are and as they should be.

Remembering Why You Started

Jul30

The Journey Begun

Why did I even start this thing? I can’t recall
Exactly what the motive was. It had something
To do with self-expression. It had been my dream
To become something of an artist. It would seem
That there’s much competition, so what could I bring
To the table? My contribution would be small.

Yet I know that this attitude gets me nowhere
If I nurse it. I must shift my focus somehow
To something more befitting this now troubled soul.
This adventure I’m on I think can make me whole
As a person. My purpose here is to allow
My words to take on meaning that people can share.

It’s not like I am running some kind of a race
To a finish line. I don’t see this as a sport
To be played as if I were a verbal athlete.
If I got people to read this, that would be sweet
But it’s not necessary. I get my support
From within. To me that is a most sacred space.

I know that in this real world of uncertainty
People struggle before they see any progress.
My story is unwritten yet. This is a start
Of an eternal venture. I speak from the heart
To myself and the universe and my success
Is assured. I remember now who I’m to be.

Happiness Chooses You

Jul13

Smile

Evidence of alignment or trying to hard?
Which one is it? You could make it ‘til you fake it,
But that never works because you’re just pretending
To be happy. The message you end up sending
To the universe is of little benefit.
Your concealing the truth keeps you always on guard.

Happiness comes from within. It cannot come from
Anywhere else. Your inner being loves every
Bit of whatever you are. It’s others who may
Find you wanting, but don’t listen to what they say.
To your true self you’re wonderful. When you agree
All the blessings of happiness to you will come.

Be as happy as you can be and let that be
Quite enough. You need not manifest anything
Other than the good feeling. Then you will attract
Abundance and wellbeing. When you’ve made contact
With you true self the universe to you will bring
Many blessings. It’s easy to live happily.

You can choose to be happy, but often you may
Find it difficult. It means that you’re not happy.
Wait until you feel then give it a try.
You don’t find happiness. It finds you, which is why
It’s better to attract happiness consciously.
Do appreciate all the good that comes your way.

Choosing The People Around Us

Jun27

Mutual Suspicion

I create my own reality. Does this mean
That I choose those around me like friends, family,
And acquaintances? Their vibrational essence
Is what I choose, and if I should take great offense
To their being in my life, then it’s hard to be
In alignment because my vibration isn’t clean.

I’m creating a vibrational version of
Everything in each moment. The universe fills
In the details. Cooperative components
Are assembled along with the kinds of events
That are like my vibration. The thought gives me chills.
Somewhere in this equation there has to be love.

Love is like getting hungry again long after
A most satisfying meal. I think I’ll never
Be hungry again, but I will. I don’t freak out
When I’m hungry. I don’t keep my mouth shut and pout
Like I used to. I’m open to the endeavor
Of living a life of abundance and laughter.

Contrast is like the next meal and eternally
I will hunger. There’s always going to be more
Right along with more choices. I get to decide
Who I take along on this continuous ride
Through existence. Respect for myself is called for.
To attract what I want is my reason to be.
