I Get To Decide

Nov23

Confident

What I’m most thankful for is the freedom to be,
Do, or have anything, and I Get To Decide
How I feel in each moment which is important
To my point of attraction. Who says that I can’t
Find a way to keep myself always satisfied?
I’m thankful that this knowledge is now part of me.

There’s a much bigger picture. I’m fully aligned
With my purpose. Sometimes I have split energy
But I can quickly get back to being aware
Of my sense of wellbeing. I just have to care
More about feeling better than needing to be
Always right which makes people think that I’m unkind.

“If life is just a series of single events
Interacting with each other what’s it all mean?
What’s the point? Go ahead. Just tell me what to do.”
I once did have this rather parochial view
But by now quite a bit of wellbeing I’ve seen
And its absolute dominance makes perfect sense.

I’m here for the pleasure of life – for the pleasure
Of knowing the fullness of who I’ve come to be.
My inner being and I are two aspects of
The same thing. It tells me that I must learn to love
Everything about life unequivocally.
I’ve decided that life is an awesome treasure.

Happiness Redefined

Aug16

Love To The World

Many people have difficult conditionings
That create the illusion of being happy.
For example, by putting other people down
One prevents oneself from always wearing a frown
So it’s just a distraction that can easily
Be seen through unless one tries to complicate things.

In the workplace and at home the drama plays out.
“The way that I’m going to trust myself and feel
Good about myself is if I can just denounce
Someone else upon whom I’ll get others to pounce.”
Some scapegoating is required to block out what’s real.
Happiness isn’t even worth thinking about.

Compassion is a weakness to those who believe
That you’ll just lose your power and burn yourself out
If you care about others but it’s never true.
Happiness is a measure of how much you do
For others. Of its value there can be no doubt.
It’s the best trick in the world to have up your sleeve.

We can redefine happiness so that it’s not
Just going after pleasure. We have a deep sense
Of connection to something much bigger than we
Can imagine. It’s easy to live happily
With compassion without any hint of pretense.
How you feel about others should matter a lot.

Nothing Serious Going On Here

Nothing To Say

If the entire universe was created just
So that we could be, who could be the creator?
Some believe quiet strongly that it is all of us
Together with those in spirit, archangels, plus
The almighty. It would be nice if there were more
Of a solid hypothesis that all could trust.

But there isn’t. So now all that has taken place
Either fascinates or is of no interest
Or somewhere between the two. What we do to make
Sense and meaning of it all is to take a break
From such issues of being. You need not digest
Anything that’s been proven about time and space.

There isn’t anything that you can’t accomplish
The way you want it, but in your quest to repair
What is broken you’re held in a place of discord.
Your satisfaction must be your only reward.
As you live your life you are made fully aware
Of your power to create whatever you wish.

Your old habit of thought is one of worrying
And of pushing against things. Unnecessary
Is this way of thinking. Pay attention to all
That’s important to you and do not sweat the small
Things that fog up your vision so that you can’t see
The big picture to which your own essence you bring.
