Step Forwards

Step far forward

No past holds you back

Only you do.

In the moment

The best way to live

Always be present.

Tomorrow doesn’t fear

In actuality, it just is

A future day.

Let it happen 

It will all come naturally

Flowing to you.

Do not worry 

About where you are going

You’ll get there.

Feel the peace

You know that you deserve

and embrace it…

Saturday Random Contemplations

In this consciousness we call life,

we have all been baptized in fire of adversity.

How we come out the other side is all that matters.

No need to dwell on the terrible things that happened, those just tested our mettle.

Try to remember that, when you’re overthinking like I do.

Find a peaceful way to integrate your past as a part of your life and series of lessons.

Some light and simple others quite cathartic.

Be present, be now, enjoy what’s in front of you.

Not what’s behind you or ahead of you…

Art by Lili Zeng

Loving yourself isn’t just ideal,

It is absolutely necessary

We all do have appeal

Not the contrary.

Knowing your value

Will save your life

In everything that you do

Preventing strife.

Hold on fast

To all your goals

The bad times won’t last

Though it takes a toll.

Push on hard

Through the fire

Even if needing restart,

On life’s high wire.

Be ever present

And live in the now

Drop your past resentment

As you push and plough.

Reap the happiness

Living your best life now

Share with all who’ll witness

Applied lessons and know-how.
