Look at you
trying to carry the world
on your shoulders
while feeling unhappiness,
sharing sad stories,
playing the martyr
in this drama of life.
You are only responsible for you
and all that you create
in your life.
Don’t you know that you get
to choose your thoughts?
Don’t you get that
each emotion
is of your creation?
You want a decent life?
You want peace, faith, and security?
You first have to get out of
your thoughts,
your past beliefs of control,
and finally trust in the mysteries of the Universe.
Step out into the unknown,
live simple and consciously.
Laugh until joy sheds tears
cleaning your face of turmoil,
mapping the outline of divinity.
Love everyone
as they are, even those who’ve
hurt your inner core.
They played their role
in teaching you about
strength, acceptance, and worth.
Forgive yourself,
and then the rest will fade
into a mystical abyss.
Don’t look into the mirror of the past,
focus on the road ahead…
you will never be able
to make a U-turn.
If you are compelled to judge,
take a look at your imperfections first,
witness their beauty,
and accept all the lessons
they have taught you.
When you speak
first let a smile
polish your teeth,
breathe deeply,
and use comforting words,
even in the darkest moments
the sound of sweetness
can light the way.
The world won’t feel so heavy
and eventually you will not
be carrying it on your shoulders
because you will have
become the world
and all who inhabit it.
Sacred Journey
