If you can drift
your way through
all these
easy breezy
gently gliding
would you?
would you drift
even if it means
the stream will become
your head
the current
your flesh
the breeze will become
your heart
…
and the river
your life
or would you
try to build yourself
a ship,
load it with fuel,
nestle it with anchors,
uplift it with sails,
so you could
finally
find your way
into the oceans
that have
been
pouring
calling
waiting for you
If you want to be happy, learn how to be ferociously grateful.If you want to be lucky, learn how to reverentially ask.
Today’s life lesson
Someone told me, “These are what people say about me. And it bothers me.”
I answered, “All my life, I have been afraid of ghosts. And that fear kept me awake whenever I travel alone. [And having less sleep takes a toll on me. It kept me from performing 100%, it kept me from seizing the day, and worse, it made me feel irritated.]
But one day, I ceased being afraid. And it’s not because I was certain that they do not exist. In my mind, they still do. But I’ve accepted that they’re somewhere lurking under the bed but I have a goal – to ready myself for the opportunities of tomorrow.
..and that goal mattered more.
Some people will always have great ideas on how you should run your thoughts, actions, life.. Few voices can help you, but most of them are just noise.
If you know what you want for yourself, the thoughts you will entertain and the steps you will take will be towards that more important goal. The thoughts will be of self-awareness of your imperfections and the actions filled with will and hope that one can change for the better.
Attach yourself to the goal and detach yourself from the ghosts. They do exist but we all have to be readier (better) for the opportunities of tomorrow.”
