my personality has 2 extremes that i constantly try to balance...
Why Am I Here? ~ Karen Williams
I’m not here to be perfect,
I’m here to be happy.
I’m not here to be perfectly happy,
I’m here to be work-in-progress happy.
I’m not here to tough it out,
I’m here to savor this moment.
I’m not here to notice what’s wrong,
I’m here to celebrate what’s right.
I’m not here to perfect the world,
I’m here to witness its perfection.
I’m not here to accomplish greatness,
I’m here to see the greatness in what I accomplish.
I’m not here to prove myself worthy,
I’m here to know myself worthy
And accept the benefits.
I’m not here to gain others’ approval,
I’m here to approve of myself
And let it go at that.
I’m not here to take life seriously,
I’m here to take life as it comes
And chuckle.
I’m not here to impose my beliefs on others,
I’m here to suspect we all have a chunk of the truth.
I’m not here to struggle my way to my goals,
I’m here to envision them, welcome them,
And dream up goals anew.
I’m not here to feel frustrated,
I’m here to feel fulfilled yet eager for more.
I’m not here to regret the past,
I’m here to say goodbye to it
With a kiss.
I’m not here to work off karma,
I’m here to play in the clay of creation.
I’m not here to fear death,
I’m here to allow my fears to die.
I’m not here to live in bliss,
I’m here to ever move in that direction.
I’m not here to fidget over setbacks,
I’m here to appreciate overall progress.
I’m not here to search for God,
I’m here to rest assured there’s nothing else.
~ Karen Williams
I found this poem in an old book of unknown poets. Nobody knows who wrote it or how long ago it was written but when you read it you realize that no matter when it was written, the message remains pertinent for all time. It is in essence a brief summary of all the universal laws which govern our existence and reminds us of how easy it is to bring happiness into our lives when we simply understand that what we give in life is what we get back.
"The Law Of Life"
Whatever you give away today or think or say or do
Will multiply about tenfold and then return to you.
It may not come immediately, nor from the obvious source,
But the LAW applies unfailingly through some invisible force.
Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion,
Will surely bounce right back to you in some clear or secret fashion.
If you speak about some person, a word or praise or two,
Soon tons of other people will speak kind words to you.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul, no secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness, petty ones, untold pain.
Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you’ll get back, but loving brings love nearer.
Remember, as you start this day, and duty crowds your mind,
That kindness comes so quickly back, to those who first are kind.
Let that thought and this one direct you through each day…
The only things we ever keep are the things we give away.
