Make change last
While shortcuts
can make changes fast
It’s habits
that make changes last
Surely Seeking You
Be what you can be
and do what you can do
For what you surely seek
is surely seeking you
The “now”
The “now”
Is like a peacock in flight
A million tiny miracles
suspended alight…
The Invisible
We are far more
Than what can be seen
Forever and now
And all in between
Remember your triumphs
Remember your triumphs
In challenging times
History replays in a
Spiral that rhymes
Unstoppable You in 2022
This New Year…
Releasing the old
Inviting the new
Say “yes” to the brave
Unstoppable You
Decision & Change
How many times
Have I intended to change
Yet stopped with the words
“I tried…”
The Hero
“And then the hero walked in…”
A classic story
Where a winner with glory
Shows up for saving the day…
The Quest
The quest is yours
As long as you’re alive
Success is how you live it
Not how you arrive
Letting go is investing
Letting go
is investing
in the new
you’ll come to know
Shine
I will toil if I must
As I shake off the rust
I will polish
This silver to shine

Until I Succeed
I’ll persist to my goal
no matter the speed
I will brave through each failure
until I succeed
Do it
The fastest way around it
…is through it…
dodge the doubt
and just do it
Keep on going
How long will it take
There’s no way of knowing
Commit to completing
…and just keep on going
The experience
Life is not a problem to be solved
or an answer to be shown
but an experience to be felt
and an aching to be known
Stillness and Slow
Beneath the drive to succeed
and the hustle to grow
there’s a power in stillness
and a magic in the slow
Being
From a different level
of being
comes a different level
of seeing
Fire
Let the fire of your failure
fuel the furnace of your soul
obliterate what binds you
and alight you to your whole
Beneath the drive to succeed
and the hustle to grow
there’s a power in stillness
and a magic in the slow
A bad day
can stir up strife
don’t see it as
a bad life
From a different level
of being
comes a different level
of seeing
Let the fire of your failure
fuel the furnace of your soul
obliterate what binds you
and alight you to your whole
The most valuable action to take
might not be something new
yet something your forsake
and something you choose not to do
With a simple rephrase of a question
You can alter the path of a plan
From the victim approach of “why did…?”
To the hero approach of “how can…?”
Special through and through
You are the only you
…ever
Look within and name it
To transform the fear
and tame it
