Take Your Power Back

AI-generated image based on Wisdom & Rhyme…

This could seem obvious 
And if it does
That’s wondrous 

Only through experience can we realize our restlessness
And it could take years or lifetimes
To become aware of this

And yet befriending the mind
One thought at a time
Doesn’t need to take a long time

It’s truly up to you
What you give your attention to

If your emotions tend to get the best of you
Let’s prevent that from happening from you

To take responsibility for you
Is often something we do not do
We have a tendency to blame or try to fix 
The outside circumstance
When in fact
It’s a reflection of our internal lack

Which is just a temporary setback
If we learn how to ask for it back

But what exactly are we asking for?
Compassion, love, peace, and harmony
Even joy can be deployed
In the most uncertain times of drudgery

But it’s always going to be up to you
And it’s always going to be up to me
To decide how we are going to be

So the next time you notice
You’re experiencing lack
From a perceived setback
Say to it “no thank you”
And take your power back
