Turning Up The Volume In Your Life

Knob Of Control

What’s the goal of an artist? It is to uplift
And evoke from beholders a better feeling
Than they had to begin with. They want people to
Get connected with their personal point of view.
People find what most artists do quite appealing.
They are able to get our consciousness to shift.

It’s a transcendent experience to behold
People in their full power. We all are living
Or striving to have the fullest expression of
Ourselves as human beings. The thing that we love
Above all others is the thing most worth giving
To the world. What you have to offer is  pure gold.

To crank up the volume in my life what do I
Need to know and do? With only your attention
To the notion of it happening you will see
It becoming the way that you want it to be.
Nothing matters that’s outside your comprehension.
You must do what you do without wondering why.

With the volume turned up fully in your life you
Are a master performer. Your audience will
Recognize you as someone whose vision is clear.
They will listen to you because they want to hear
What you have to say and you can savor the thrill
Of your world’s recognition in all that you do.

Don’t Worry About What Others Think

Insecure

People spend most of their lives in gut wrenching fear
Of what others may think of them. They lie awake
At night wondering how they would cope without the
Approval of others, and they obsessively
Change their image when they find the slightest mistake.
They can’t get satisfaction from how they appear.

To the verdicts of strangers we all surrender
Our freedom to fail gracefully. Those we don’t know
And don’t even like all that much we cater to.
Even though we don’t like being told what to do,
We do it without thinking. It causes us woe.
We play the role of the malignant pretender.

Don’t complain. Don’t explain yourself to anyone.
“Become independent of the good opinion
Of other people.”
Trust yourself. You and only

You know the enlightened one you were meant to be.
Don’t let other people’s judgments have dominion
Over how you feel. Then awareness has begun.

When we really mess up, almost no one will be
Looking or caring very much. They’re too involved
With their own issues. Our disgrace will be subsumed
Into social amnesia, so we’re never doomed
By unwanted attention. One who is evolved
Is above that kind of negative energy.
