I went on a little vacation last week to Northern California, vacations for me are times to reflect and get inspired. So often we get in our own way by overthinking, doubting ourselves, or caring about other people’s opinions of us. But life’s too short not to be the fullest expression of yourself. I wrote this while I was on the beach….
We can let the tides take us or watch as they rise and fall
We can fight against the wind, or we can run with it
We can see a closed door and waste our energy trying to break it down
or walk away and start a new beginning
We can chase a future that doesn’t exist yet
Or create a better future here and now
By seeing every moment as precious as the last
Dancing in the rain till the dark clouds pass
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself
No reason to be hurt by anticipated pain
Happiness grows from the inside out
Water your roots or your petals will fade
Nothing lasts forever but you will be remembered
By the smiles you put on people’s faces
Nothing self-centered ruffles your feathers
When you’re focused on the impact your making
It’s easy to give up growing before you see the flower bloom
But if you’re gracious enough to get through it
You’ll illume the room till far gone is the gloom
Stop thinking so much and just do it.
