At the end of the day my friend, remember the importance of appreciating yourself.
How I would dread to live a life without this understanding.
A life without having my mind as the caretaker for my body would be the greatest form of spiritual self-destruction.
Without Self Love, you will not breed wisdom from your mistakes.
As an Oath to myself:
It was you that stood with me through every tear, like raindrops falling from the skies.
It was you who understood me when no one else did.
It was you that believed in me to take that first step.
It was you who told me I am not tolerating my attitude anymore!
Although our body’s have limitations physically, no mind needs to be shortened of potential.
With spiritual limitation, we finally begin to love ourselves. As if starting a new journey, enriched with even more fulfilling adventures.
I bring advice from a long time friend of mine, Viktor Frankl.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.”
You cannot become overwhelmed unless you allow yourself to be consumed by the expectations you currently hold to yourself.
You cannot be harmed unless you submit yourself to a service of pain.
Most importantly, you cannot be enlightened unless you allow yourself to choose such a path.
I can surely relate...I hope you can too.
So to soothe such external expectations, with a pen in hand, I find myself.
Again..and Again...and Again..and Again..and Again…because this battle will never end.
I wish you can do the same, with a tool of intervention.
Able find yourself in any given situation.
Only then will your emotions walk the earth with you as a gentle giant.
Yet if you cannot find yourself alone
Look to the souls in the past
The stars in the sky
And the depths of the ocean
To remember...
you will be dust soon enough.
