The Power Of Your Why

Colorful Questioning

When you’re ready to quit you must ask yourself why
You decided to do it. Therein lies the key
To continuing through it. Remember why you
Chose to take on this thing. It’s because you want to
Be your best. Any pain you endure happily.
Just keep asking the question when things go awry.

Why you need your why is because it will give you
The advantage you need to get past the despair
That you feel during tough times. The pain doesn’t last
For a long time. Your why will help you to get past
Disillusionment. Asking why makes you aware
Of your purpose in doing what you want to do.

Don’t ask questions that you or no one can answer
And don’t look outside yourself for information.
Go within and ask why you are feeling the way
That you do. You know well the answer, so to stay
Optimistic in your quest is easily done
When you keep yourself focused on what you prefer.

Life is not always easy. The question is how
Will you respond in those moments of frustration.
There will be seasons of suffering and dismay
But with your perseverance in life you will stay
In the running. Your life is your own creation.
There’s no limit to what you can do here and now.

The Cycle

The Infinity Of Providence

There are cycles unending wherein I am one
With all others on this earth and all that exists.
How do I lead my consciousness of time and space
To evoke the momentum of God’s loving grace?
Within all life’s occurrences motion persists
Only in one direction and never is done.

Contemplating on cycles, I feel out the parts
That each one is made up of. Must there be contrast
So that goodness can be seen amid the chaos?
Can I manage somehow to stop thinking of loss
Long enough to allow good momentum to last?
Since each has no beginning, can there be false starts?

There are steps to creation. The yearning I feel
Causes asking, which causes motion, then forces
Of the universe amplify what has been made.
Only through my impatience is goodness delayed.
Maintaining the alignment with who my source is
Is the grease for the axle that quiets the wheel.

Maintenance of continuance rightly includes
Times of darkness. To get through them, and then to grow…
It’s a life I’m well suited for. Which path I choose
At any given moment is either the blues
Or the way of fulfillment. What more need I know?
I’m aware of the wonder each cycle exudes.
