14 Sep Important visitors

PATIENCE visited me
And it reminded me
That good things take time
to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability.

PEACE visited me
And it reminded me
That I may remain calm
through the storms of life
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me.

HOPE visited me
And it reminded me
That better times lay ahead,
And it would always be there
to guide and uplift me.

HUMILITY visited me
And it reminded me
That I may achieve it
Not by trying to shrink myself
and make myself less,
But by focusing on serving the world
and uplifting those around me.

KINDNESS visited me
And it reminded me
To be more gentle, forgiving and
compassionate toward myself
And those surrounding me.

CONFIDENCE visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress
my gifts and talents
In order to make others feel more comfortable
But to embrace what makes me…me.

FOCUS visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities
and judgements about me
Are not my problem
And I should redirect my attention
From others back to me.

FREEDOM visited me
And it reminded me
That no one has control over
my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing,
But me.

LOVE visited me
And it reminded me
That I need not search for it in others,
As it lies within me.
