Struggling to breathe? It's EASY.

We've all got an ego- a teeny, tiny, nasty one.

How would you react if life asked you to get rid of it?

The task isn't easy, nor is the picture of our lives rosy.

Your empty head may give you a false sense of security,

It may seem like your only living lifeline;

Yet, reality bites as it draws you into it's hollow well.

Take pride in being you.

You aren't only who you might be someday.

You aren't a pale picture of the skeletons in your closet.

You are you- today, now, here- YOU are beautiful.

Cracked vision needs the therapist in you

What about the days when you're too busy to pray?

He finds a way to stay- in your heart, in peculiar ways.

While you're thinking about the problems in your path;

He's wishing you'd trust Him more for now and rest.

It will all get sorted in time- He knows that, do you?

As guilt-ridden thoughts burden your mind, ashaming,

Don't liken your relationship with Him to one of many-

Strong relationships left behind in the sands of time.

God knows you inside out- He has walked with you;

He hasn't ever been in the dark- why cry or apologize?

Every person you meet is Him, each new situation is His;

Be as confident as you are when you're alone with Him,

For if truth be told, it always is just two- Him and you.

Rescue yourself and ride away

Sometimes, a tiny little shock works beautifully.

It jerks you out of your people pleasing habit.

It delivers the slap that will change your life.

It turns your head to where you ought to be looking.

No, you aren't doing nothing for nobody.

You're here for YOU.

The world may come and go- not you!

It doesn't matter what you should be doing.

It doesn't matter what is deemed acceptable.

What do YOU want?

How do YOU feel?

Is there something you can do better for yourself??

Your way is my way

I am sticking to my promise.

I've decided that I can be a better friend to you.

Relax- If the war isn't fun, it ain't worth it at all!

Learn and educate yourself to your heart's content.

Feel confident in your abilities.

We're going to get to our destination on time.

Relish the true richness of this fortunate experience.

You're blessed- take notice.

This story is about You

Zillions walk the face of this earth side-by-side.

Some chose to walk hand-in-hand.

You may earn the friendships of a few.

You inherit relationships with certain others.

But no matter how close the bond you may share, there is an end to that tale.

Overwhelmed??

You've been growing better with each passing day.

You now have people reaching out to you.

They need your presence and support.

• Do you find your vision turning into a blur?
• Are you panicking in self doubt??
• Is your breathing rapid and shallow?
• Do you feel unable to focus on even one of those many pending tasks?

The Magic of YOU

Your day is a blank canvas.

You've barely just begun.

Don't let the colours cloud your senses all at once.

Stay calm.

You ARE in control.

Get rid of the fluff

Whatever you do, be honest.

Don't try to be someone you're not even if it were to be the only way to get appreciated.

You are YOU for a reason.

Is this real????? WAKE UP!

If things around you aren't motivating-

It is time YOU changed them.

You only live life once as you know it.

Take charge of you!

Sympathizing with someone else repeatedly isn't earning you the brownie points you've been hoping desperately to earn.

It only feels worse when you realize that they are oblivious to your trying.

STOP.

Your emotions are valuable.

Save your energy, your love and your time- for YOU.

When you stumble upon a life-changing miracle,

Thank God for His goodness and for His kind ways!

When life shows you the way,

Have the courage to follow that path, undeterred.

Know what is best for YOU.
